Meredith Grace Cottle arrives!

After a long day (because I wanted a smoothie for breakfast), Meredith Grace Cottle was born at 10:46 pm on July 22, 2010.  She weighed 7 lbs, 7 ounces, 19-3/4 inches and had a massive head of dark brown hair.

We were so excited to welcome her into the world (and out of my belly) on the 22nd because my birthday, my father's birthday, his father's birthday, and his father's birthday are all on the 22nd of a month.  Plus it is also Cynthia's birthday (one of my very bestest friends)!  And funnier - my birth year is 77 - her weight!

Here's some pictures of her first day - a very long and busy day!
