Labor done. Baby here!!!

It was an amazing and wonderful night. Yes, Kim was in fact in labor yesterday and when her water broke at 11:30 pm Sunday night and her contractions were 3 min. apart, we rushed to the hospital. Things moved very quickly over the next hour as she was directly admitted to the delivery room. The baby was born naturally at 1:05 am. I'll let Kim recount her story in more detail, but the bottom line is that she and Helen are doing great.
Helen Kathryn Walker was born weighing 8lb, 8oz. and measured 21.5" long. She is healthy and happy, and as sweet as can be.

Congratulations!!! You are going to do great. I am so excited that we will have little girls all so close in age.

Just let me know if you are ready for a play date this weekend =) JK

Seriously, let me know if there is anything I can do, bring you, or if you just need some time to sleep one day and need a baby sitter. One more is no problem.

Congratulations!!

Wow, can your baby be any cuter? Can Alan look more exhausted? Can Kim strangle Helen any tighter? (just kidding). She is absolutely gorgeous!
Little Helen is soooooooo lucky to have such wonderful parents.
Congratulations and let the fun begin!!!!!
Much Love,
Kathie, Joshua, Jason and T
