Victoria Mae Allen

(Picture created by Tori's Uncle Doug)

Rachel and I would like to formally introduce you to our new baby girl. Tori was born on 8/10/2009 at 1:42 pm. She weighed in at a whopping 4lbs 2oz and 18.25 inches long. She is small and was born at 36 weeks and 6 days after 20 hours of labor. She has been breathing on her own since she was born which is a blessing and has been feeding regularly since the morning of her second day. She is doing great and is learning so much that she just might be able to go home sooner than expected. We hope you enjoy the pictures of our new little girl.

Here she is just moments after her birth getting cleaned before they moved her to the special nursery upstairs.

Here she is being held by her proud mother for the 30 seconds she had before she was taken upstairs for further tests.

Here she is upstairs once her tests were done and her vitals were checked...

she looks so comfortable
Here is the first time her proud daddy got to hold her!!! He is so excited to have her here!!

Here she is finally peacefully sleeping...what a little angel!!!

Here she is telling her proud father she does not want her photo taken!!
