It's a GIRL!!!!!!!

Yes that is right most of the people that visited this blog were WRONG we were blessed with a beautiful little Girl on October 5th at 3:34 pm. Her name is Ashlyn Kelly Zeal and she was 7lbs. 14oz. and was 20 inches long. She has been home for a week now, she spent a little extra time in the hospital because she went to the NICU but we have been reassured that it was nothing that will have long term affects and she has been to her first doctors appointment and everything looks fine. She now weighs 8lbs. 2.5oz and is 20.5 inches long. She has been doing pretty good and loving all of her visitors thus far. We have had most of our family here to visit and her friend Luke came with Mike and Angie. She is on a pretty consistant schedule of eating about every three to four hours day and night and sleeping in between. It is tougher for us to get used to especially for me since I went back to work this week, but Tara has been great about letting me sleep as much as possible at night when I have to work the next day. Tara doesn't have to go back to work until the 5th of January and then I am going to take some time off to stay home with Ashlyn. We are very excited and would love to have visitors so any time people want to come over just give us a call first and make sure we are here, becausae we have had Ashlyn out and about shopping with us and she has been very good. I will keep updating the blog periodically as we have more developments. Thank you again to everyone for your support and all of the very generous gifts we have received.
