Miss Scarlett has arrived!

Miss Scarlett made her debut on Sunday at 6:02 PM.

Weighing in at 7 lbs. 14 oz and 19 inches long, with a full head of hair!!

Carla's water broke late Saturday evening and she and Allen took off for the 45 minute drive to Cottage Hospital.  She was admitted and labored like a trooper until about 5:00 PM on Sunday afternoon when it was decided Ms. Scarlett was in the "sunny side up" position and not face down as needed to deliver.  Thus a C-section was ordered, much to Carla's dismay, but necessary.  Carla blurted out "but I haven't read that section of the book" and we all enjoyed a good laugh in a tense situation.

 Allen and I "gowned up" ready for the Operating Room.  Moments later Scarlett is born.

 Allen accompanied Scarlett to the Nursery while I remained in the O.R. with Carla and then stayed with her in  Recovery.  What an INCREDIBLE experience.  Mom and daughter are doing beautifully!

 Great Grandad Terry with Scarlett's feet in the palm of his hand.
