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

What a lovely way to spend a day of "thankgiving". Camilla is a beautiful name for a beautiful baby. Times will be crazy for awhile with two babies but what a blessing they both are. Thank you for writing on my blog Yo, what a sweet thing to say. I absolutely know without ever seeing that you are and will be a wonderful mom. You are such a great young woman yourself. I am so tickled for you and Chris. Take care of yourself dear so that you will be able to care for your daughters. Of course Kameron remembers you. You were like a big sister to him. He adores Uncle Mike and Jo. Did you know that she is in school to become a midwife in about three years? If you are able to meet someday you will like her alot. Maddie is coming back to Washington on Tuesday. I hope she gets a chance to get a peek at the newest member of your family. If I get to the vicinity of you I will definitely call you and come visit. Congratulations to both of you. Love and best wishes Yolanda and Chris...truly
