Ladies and gentlemen, introducing...


Celia Rose Zimmerman

Born - 12/22/2008  8:20 PM
Weight - 10 lb. 6 oz.
Length - 22 in.

Mom and baby are both healthy and doing well.
Sara started Pitocin at 10:00 AM and went into heavy labor at 3:00 PM.  She only had to push for about 30 minutes and our darling showed up just in time for the snowstorm!
It's also worth noting that the Bears were down 3-14 until her birth, when they quickly rebounded to win in overtime 20-17 and keep their playoff hopes alive (note the scoreboard on the background).

Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers.


-Ben

Celia Rose is another little beauty!
We praise God that she is here and all are doing well.
The Bears should be notified as to how she turned their game around! They might even put her on the payroll!
Love to all, Mom
