Baby Benz is Here!!!!!




Allie Heather Benz was born today, yes on Halloween!









 The Story

 We woke up this morning at 2:00AM Beth was having some painful contractions.  I started getting things ready to go to the hospital hoping this was it! We left for the hospital at  3:00AM when we got there not a lot had changed from Mondays appointment except for the progression Beth labored until 10:00AM then we had a bit of a scare with her heart beat dropping.  Things moved fast from there the staff and Dr were great but things were a little scary and stressful.  The Dr needed to use forceps but he did an amazing job.  

The Stats
born @ 10:58AM
7.2 Lbs.
 19 Inches

I am so happy for you two!! I was anxiously awaiting that picture from you, I kept checking my phone all morning! I am so glad she is finally here. She'll never have to dress up as anything on Halloween - she'll already be the birthday princess!

Congrats you guys!
I've been enjoying your blog these past months. We were at Jen and Mike's tonight and they said you had gone to the hospital today. How exciting! You will be great parents.
