Gabriella's Here

Finally, our daughter has arrived. Gabriella Rae Benefiel was born on June 24, 2009 at 9:46pm. She weighs 7lbs 14oz, is 21 in. long, and is in great health. I was getting ready to go to work when Rachel started having contractions and we decided it was time. The labor began around 7:30am, and unfortunately, Rachel had to wait over 7 hours for an epidural, and had already dialated to 7cm. Despite that, everything else went very well, and we couldn't ask for a greater blessing:)
