Allie Mae Wilkins is Here

Ben and Mattie are happy to announce the birth of their daughter, Allie Mae Wilkins. She was born last night, August 25th at 6:49 pm. She weighs 8 pounds 3 ounces and measures 19 inches long. She is very cute -- lots of brown hair and pretty skin.

Mattie and Ben went to the hospital about midnight the night before. When they got there, Mattie was at a 4. She had an epidural and was able to relax for awhile until about 1-2pm when she was at an 8 and started feeling it. By the time she was at a 10, she was ready to push, but Allie wasn't ready -- she was still too high, so they had to wait awhile longer. Finally Allie was ready and at 6:49 she decide to come out.

We are so excited and happy for Ben and Mattie. They will be coming home probably tonight or tomorrow. For a couple more pictures, you can visit mabeljoy.blogspot.com
