Welcome to the world!

Annabella Khara Kendall, whom we will call "Bella" made her entrance into the world at 12:54 PM.  Temarie did a great job, and Bella came after 11 1/2 hours of labor.  She weighs 7 lbs. 15 oz. and is 21 inches long.    She has been an awesome baby so far.  She stayed wide awake for the first three hours of her life and was watching all the world around her and moving her hands all over the place.  She has not cried for more than 10 seconds yet.  I'm sure she is saving that for three in the morning.  She only let us have an hour of sleep last night, and I'm sure tonight will be no different.

 Getting weighed and measured.

 James called her length correctly and was only off by two ounces on her weight.

 Holly, our awesome nurse!

Bella's first visitor from Salem (it helps that she works at WakeMed and knew we were there before anyone else.)
