Please give it up for...Kirari Grace Allred!

You may have noticed that the baby counter is now gone. That's because we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl Monday night at 9:45p! Kirari (pronounced Kiari...it's Japanese...Reiko can give you more info on it if you want) Grace came in weighing 7 lbs 11 oz, and measuring 20.5 in in length. Mom and baby are both doing great. Kirari has developed quite the appetite. Reiko spends most of the baby's waking moments nursing her, and she REALLY likes to eat. :) Must take after her dad. We're scheduled to leave the hospital tonight around 11:30p-ish (the baby got some amniotic fluid in her lungs, so they're just monitoring her for 48 hrs to make sure she doesn't have pneumonia or anything (she's clear right now, but they want to make sure she's fine before we leave). We are so in love with her already! She has gorgeous long eyelashes, a TON of dark hair, beautiful dark skin, and crazy monkey toes. Anyway, thank you everyone for all your thoughtful phone calls and messages. We're so grateful to have such loving and wonderful support! You can check out the slideshow below for more pics.
