After the initial shock of pregnancy and then all the months of waiting, we are thrilled to welcome our new daughter, Julia Summer, into our family. We didn't know she was a girl until the moment she arrived, and we couldn't be happier. I asked Allan and the doctor a dozen times if they were sure she was a girl because I was expecting a boy, but a girl she is! A.J. said she was so beautiful it almost made him want to cry. And Abigail, of course, couldn't be happier to have a little sister.
The c-section went great, and we were actually released in less than 48 hours after delivery. Both A.J. and Abigail spent time in ICU at birth and were in the hospital for a week each. We prayed each night this entire pregnancy for this baby to be born healthy, and God gave us just such a blessing.
Julia was named Julia because we loved the name and thought a "J" name went well with A and a J for AJ, A for Abigail, and J for Julia. Summer is named after my best friend, Summer Perry. Although our friendship has had moments (that happens when you are friends since middle school) and has often been separated by distance, she represents the type of friend I hope Julia is one day to her friends.
We can't wait for all of our friends and family to meet her. Here are a few pictures from her arrival days.

Congratulations on a beautiful baby girl! Best wishes for a quick recovery.
She is precious. You made Summer's day when you named her Julia Summer. She has been beaming ever since. Glad this pregnancy and birth went so well.
I can't decide who she looks like... maybe Allan.
