Francesca Pilar Gutke Extravaganza!

Thursday was such a wonderful day for Paul and me thanks to great nurses, an AMAZING doctor and a wonderful family and support system. It was a day filled with waiting, fun, laughter, waiting, watching TV, and more waiting. Thank you everyone for being patient with the timing and sticking around for the prize at 1:35 Friday morning. I was so happy everyone was there to share the experience with Paul and me. I love you all so much!


Go time!

We had a few road bumps. I had to be on oxygen for a few hours to regulate Fran's heartbeat.

My woderful coach!


Finally time to push at 1:15 am after a LONG day.

Here she is!!

Here she REALLY is

Check out cone head! This is what happens after 5 hours in the birth canal.
