We did it!!!! lol ...After 72+ hours of labor followed by an emergency c section our baby girl came into this world at 4:13 am at 7lb 11.9 oz on dec. 24 2012....labor and delivery itself was not the greatest thing in the world ...but after two days i got to see my little girl due to my health complications as well as hers...after about a week an 2 days we were released from the hospital  ....She is the splitting image of her father i have to say....lol but oh is she something lol already after a week her personality came out ...shes very stubborn ( that she takes after her grandma on her fathers side an of course me lol)..she always has a smile on her face and laughs all the time  .... couldn't ask for anything more...God has given us a blessing an we are very grateful for her..an with that said as parents are daughter will know the morals of life..and that people are the same despite color , religion , or race...the only difference in this world is one chooses to be good or bad.....  my father did a damn good job raising me as a single father and i intend to pass on the wisdom to our children ....
