Maya's baby sister

Hi all, our new baby girl arrived yesterday at 4:49 PM. Her name is Camilla Marie Powell and she weighed in at 9 pounds 5 ounces and she was 19 inches long at birth. Everything went very well. Labor was much shorter than the 33 hours it took for Maya. Yolanda started getting contractions a little after noon and Camilla was born approximately 4 hours later. Below are a few pictures of the new one. I guess it is time that we start a Camilla blog. We will start that soon and include the url in an upcoming post.

Below are some pictures from the big day

New Pictures

Below are a couple of new pictures of Maya that our friend Adam took yesterday. The first is of Maya working away on the computer. We had to put her to work since the economy is so tough right now and she is going to have to help support her little sister. Her productivity is not that great yet, but she is quite skilled in turning off the computer while we are in the middle of things. The second is Maya getting a piggy back ride from daddy.

Latest Video

Here are some recent videos of Maya walking around and working hard at being a baby.

Halloween, New Baby Shower Party, Park, Pumpkin Patch...

Here are the pictures since our last update. All has been well here. We are now 5 days from the due date for our new baby girl and we are very excited for her to arrive. We are also very excited for Yolanda to not be pregnant. It has been nearly two years now and she really looks forward to being able to do some "not pregnant things" in the near future. The chances are the next time we post pictures they will be of Maya and her little sister.

Broken Images Fixed

For those of you who have pointed out that a bunch of our older images were not working, the problem has been fixed. All the old images are working again. I just went back and looked through them all myself and she used to be so tiny. It is amazing that we will have another little tiny one like that again any day here.
