Introducing Ariana Lila

Born September 2nd, 6:47 am, weighing 7 lbs 5 ozs and measuring 21 inches long. Lalla progressed so quickly that we almost missed it. We got the call that she had been admitted at 3am and was 3 cm dilated. Carlene and I debated on whether to go to the hospital at that moment but decided we'd sit tight until we heard more from Richard. But we were way to anxious to sleep so we started packing the boys diaper bag and getting their clothes ready. Good thing we did because at 5:30 we got a call that Lalla was 8 cm dilated. We rushed to get ourselves and the boys dressed and headed off to the hospital. When we arrived we were told that we couldn't go back because Lalla was "working" and pushing but a minute later Richard walked out to come and get us. We walked in just as the Dr. declared that Lalla was fully dilated and started pushing. Click HERE to read Lalla's birth story.
