We decided on a name! There are also new photos posted; in the interest of time I left most of them un-commented, but I figured you were probably only interested in the photo anyway.

Wow – what a wonderful early Christmas gift! Early this morning (about midnight), Kay’s water broke. She wasn’t completely sure if that was what happened, though, so we went in to see the doctor at about 9 am. She examined Kay and then said, “Well, you’re having a baby today. You better go on over to Labor and Delivery and get checked in.”

Needless to say, we were both a little stunned. We rushed to find friends to take care of Oliver, packed a bag for Kay, and went back to the hospital. Kay was amazing! Our doctor even turned to her after the baby was born and said, “I wish every patient could be like you. You make my job easy. You just need to have more kids.” Our baby girl is beautiful, and both Mom and Baby are doing well.

We’re still finalizing a name, so we’ll let you know when we decide for sure. Our baby girl was born at about 4:45 PM, weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces, and was 19 inches long. Please check out the new photos we posted of her!
