She's here!!!

7 lbs 5 oz 18 1/2 inches

She's finally here and I'm exhausted. All is right in the world at the Castillo home. Sorry it's taken me so long to post pics. When you get less than 3 hours or sleep a night, blogging takes the back seat. Go figure! Here's are some pics for now. Of course, I don't think they do justice to how beautiful she is. I'll tell the whole story a little later.
