Love at first Sight

I don’t often go off topic on this blog, but I’m definately going to make an exception for the birth of my beautiful baby girl today at 8:01 a.m. Anna Elizabeth Leyten was born weighing 6 lbs. 5 oz., and 19 1/2 inches long.
They say that you never know true love until you see your child for the first time, and today I experienced true love at first sight. Here is a pic of her right after birth:

Here is a pic of the proud parents, Dr. Danno, and Sheelah:

Just wanted to get these pics up for friends and family, time to get back to my family at the
hospital.
Here is my flickr photo set with all of the pics from the hospital:
Beautiful!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cute child but did you have to show the birth photo right before the recipe for Creole Cream Cheese Ice Cream.
