Brand New Baby

Well, the day finally arrived. Shara went into surgery bright and early this morning. I was able to go in after they'd started and sit with her. At 8:17 our beautiful new addition arrived: 6lbs, 13oz, 19 1/2" tall. We don't have a name yet--we're working on it--but hope to by tomorrow. Shara is well and all the worries we had seem to have worked out for the better. I also did not pass out in the operating room--a BIG fear--and we were able to hold her right away. Here's a photo of her straight from the OR, maybe 15 minutes old.
We'll keep you updated on the name status.
