I am so happy to announce the arrival of baby Brill! Contractions started at 4pm on Thursday, August 7th and after 9.5 hours of drug-free labor she arrived at 1:30am on Friday, August 8th. It was an amazing birth experience and although the nurses and doctors kept pushing for an epidural, Jonathan offered just the support I needed to make it happen the way I had envisioned. He was AMAZING and in the end the hospital staff was impressed saying they wished they could have a labor like ours. I'm not saying it was easy but our crash course in Lamaze paid off as I was able to control the contractions for an overall peaceful and beautiful experience. Here are a few of Alana's first pictures (oh and by the way, she was also born in room 8 - I guess that's going to be her lucky number!):

Its anonymous the winner for Grandma’s contest is Jim K. from Palmdale. It was a very close race. Grandma Marina came in second and her Daddy came in third. Daddy Brill practically nailed it!!! He predicted Alana would be born on 080808, between 12:00 am to 6: am, at the weight of 6lbs 7oz. My precious grand-daughter was born on a Lucky Day in a lucky room 8. I am one of three lucky Grandmas!
Congrats to Jim k. from Palmdale
