Introducing... Alyssa Paige Naumann!!

Weighing in at 7 pounds 10 ounces with a height of 20 inches... Alyssa Paige was born at 2340 Pacific Standard Time on the night of October 28, 2010!  In stark contrast to Mom's last labor, this one lasted a little over 6 1/2 hours and only required 4 pushes!  Mom and baby are doing great!  We wanted to thank everyone for their well-wishes and prayers - we couldn't have done it without them.  Here are a few of the many pictures taken by Dad (aka the Seattle paparazzi) to document the occasion!

Getting to know each other...

Mom, Dad, and Alyssa...

Dad gets to hold Alyssa...

There are the eyes!

Being born is hard work!

Little bit of bruising and swelling... looks like her Dad ;)

What's with these doctors?!

Howdy!

Feets... with five toes each!

Nice and warm...

Bath time!

Little more fragile than Joshua...

Hair washing...

Lots of hair and lots of stuff to get out of that hair!

Now this I can handle!

Wait... how does this go again?

Warm and clean...

Now all I need is some food!

Hooray! So glad she made it! Just 20 minutes prior to your due date, too - very impressive. What a cutie! And Heather, please - do you have to look so great after giving birth? You are making the rest of us look bad. How will men ever believe us when we tell them that labor is difficult, if they see you post-delivery?
