Lisa and I are proud to annouce that Jocelyn Kathleen Orrell was born at 10:18am at Mercy Gilbert Medical Center in Gilbert, Arizona. She arrived a very healthy 7lb 8oz, 20.5 inch long little girl. Her 1 and 5 minute APGARS were both 9. She had a mild amount of respiratory distress that required going to the nursery for a few minutes to clear some meconium from her lungs. She was a bit of a grunter, trying to expel the fluid on her own, but after 15 minutes in the nursery with her daddy, she let out the most beautiful, and powerful, cry and let us know that she was perfectly healthy and ready to tackle this life with her mother and and me at her side. We are so excited for this next chapter in our lives. I am at home now to take care of the dogs and get some sleep. But I already can't wait to get back to the hospital in the morning to hold my little girl and kiss my sweet wife.I am so appreciative to Lisa for her sacrifice. I can't even express how much awe I felt throughout the delivery process. Jocelyn is a miracle - from a couple of dividing cells we now have a tiny, healthy baby with a sweet spirit, sent from our Heavenly Father. I am in love.
