We would like to introduce you to our incredibly cute little girl born earlier this morning. Samantha Belle Brown was born today, April 8, 2011 at 5:14 a.m. She weighs 8 pounds 3 ounces and is 20-21 inches long (depending on the nurse that measures her).
It was such an incredible experience to be a part of the delivery. I'm sure it might be a different story from Linzi's perspective, but she did amazing! In short, we went to our appointment yesterday (2 days after her due date) and Dr. Tritto gave us the option of inducing her that day and we jumped on it. We went into the hospital yesterday afternoon, and after 14 hours of labor we got to finally meet "Squishy." We have felt such a rush of emotions that I'm sure every other parent has felt...it's been a very special day. So without further ado, here's our sweet little girl:

So cute! Glad she is finally here. Love the name and hope all goes well.
Congrates, she is adorable.
And she IS Squishy! Look at those darling cheeks! Kylie was born with cheeks and I can't stop kissing them - I'm sure it'll be the same for you and sweet little Samantha! Congrats you guys! So happy for you!
CONGRATULATIONS! She is beautiful, just like her mommy (especially after delivering)...and beautiful like her daddy too. I can't believe you had an 8 pounder! Wow! I am glad things went well and she is finally here. Haha, I am going to have to revise the gift I sent you, I totally thought you were going to have a boy. I should have known, it is always the opposite of what I think. Good luck with the move and enjoy your precious addition!
Yeah! She's so cute! You guys look great too. Congratulations!
What a gorgeous girl! Lovely name. Congratulations to your sweet family!
We are THRILLED! Can't wait to meet her! You guys are trooper! 14 hours of labor is AWESOME! It'll only get faster!
She's a beauty, just like her mama!
Congratulations Linzi! She's beautiful! I'm so glad she finally came.
Congrats! We are excited for you guys. We are proud of you for having a name for your baby so quickly even though you didn't know the gender the whole pregnancy:)
Yippee skippee! Congratulations! She's a big girl! I got up this morning wondering if you had had the baby yet. I'm so happy for both of you. Happy parenting.
*I just have to mention that I'm proud that I guessed correctly on the gender! Okay...I'm done.
I realize I just sent you an email...but man, she is so cute and you guys look fabulous! (And I've got Maya here on my lap who is glued to the pictures and is cooing up a storm. "That's my little friend! I've missed her!" Seriously. It's so cute.)
Holy cow - why can't I get logged in as myself these days? This is Kristin...not Tyler. Sheesh! ;)
What a lovely little girl! She is precious! I am so excited for the two of you!
Yay YAY YAY!! It must have been seeing me at the zoo that pushed her into wanting to see this world huh? That or the pictocin, whatever. She is darling and I am SOOOOO excited that she will get to wear that super cute outfit that YOU gave Alison! yay for girls!
