This has been much less stressful than last time!

Allison Jean was born this morning at 9:07 (by C-section), weighing only 7 pounds and 15 ounces! She seems awfully small after her 10 pound 7 ounce big sister. She’s 19 inches long and doing really well so far. So is Mommy.
Her Apgar score at birth, 5, and 10 minutes was 9, 8, and 10.
Seeing Mommy for the first time:
Checking out her ears:
Big yawn!
Being held by cousin Derrick:
Being introduced to cousin Patrick:
Big sister Mandy!
Daddy and his two little girls:
Getting her first bath:
Not too impressed! Letting out a squeaky howl:
Much better. Sleeping peacefully with her new hat:

My my, how things have changed in the ITF household since the old days. Tom, glad to see you have something besides your cooking to focus on now with these two beautiful blessings from God.
And just to let you know, as God blesses, the future may just hold some grand children for you both, so it gets even better. Although, for a daddy, going through the weddings, i.e. giving your beautiful daughter(s) to some other fellow, may seem like a huge price to pay just to have grand children, but it is worth it bro! Anyway, all that is speculative at the moment, enjoy them while you can, they do grow up fast.
Congratulations to you both!
