This morning, Sunday, at 7:45, we welcomed Beatrix Fern to the world. Mom and daughter are healthy, tired, and happy--they're both sleeping soundly now, Bea on Kim's bosom.
She weighed just shy of eight pounds at birth (7lbs, 14oz) and measured 20 inches from end to end. She's got a little smushed nose (which seems to be unsmushing itself), a round face, alert blue eyes, and a full head of dark brown hair.
But don't count on a brunette; I think I see blonde roots!
Labor was longer than either Kim or I expected (she outlasted Merry and Elspeth), and delivery was painful but fast. I think she was out in four or five good pushes.
Our thanks to all of you who supported us in this, whether through kind words, prayers, gifts, or a little of everything. We'll post pictures when we're able.
Oh, and for those who don't know: Kim and Bea share a birthday!

Hooray! Congratulations! And Happy Birthday to Kim and Beatrix!
Would love to come see you, but Lauren has a snotty nose and don't want to bring our germs along!

Meredith just called and gave us the great news!
Wow, you have a couple of expensive months to contend with.
Your anniversary (same day as ours!)
two birthdays and Christmas.
And now a double birthday, how cool!
Right after that Mother's Day.
It will make things much easier to keep track of as you get older.
Believe me, you will need all the help you can get, especially with three daughters to raise.
We can't wait to see the pictures of little Bea!
Congratulations!
