11:06 am, April 24th 2011, our family will never be the same. Gemma Rose Keith has joined our crazy little Keith clan here in Safford, AZ. I can't believe what a beautiful and easy birth it was. Once everyone was here and ready to go, Ari had to only push for 8 minutes! She pushed 11 times. Richard was funny because he said "ok everyone, what time signature is Jordan counting in?" And I thought about it, I was counting in 3/4 time. Kind of like a slow waltz:) She came out, and looked so beautfiul. She was 7 pounds 9 ounces, 19 inches long. Ariel was there along with Richard, waiting behind the curtain, and Dr. Harrison and Cassandra. She cried for just a second then opened those big beautiful eyes and started drinking in her new world. She's just so precious. She latched on and ate like a champ- within seconds. Now Ariel ran home to watch the boys so Roseann can come and see her first baby granddaughter. We are so blessed! We got ourselves a little gem on Easter Sunday! What better a day to celebrate love, life, and birth. We love you Gemma.
