The Eagle has Landed

Born this afternoon at 2:55 p.m.
7 lbs, 7 oz.

We’ll be calling her Ella on the blog, so if you do know her real name, please don’t use it in the comments.

I’ll write in more detail next week about the whole experience, but for now we are just so thrilled that she is here and that she’s healthy.

We may be slightly biased, but we think she’s the most darling baby there ever was.

Thank you all for your kind comments today after Bart’s post this morning. Reading them during labor was a very pleasant distraction.
