It's a girl!

At about 5:25 AM this morning, our soon-to-be-named little girl was born. She weighed 8lbs, 2oz and was 20" long. She has blue eyes and wispy light brown hair. Shes pretty quiet and so very cute. we love her. Last night after a few hours of contractions, (and after being sent home earlier because she wasn't dilated enough) we checked into the hospital, where Jill was promptly hooked up with an epidural. In her own words, "after the epidural, it was a piece of cake". We're so excited and happy to have her with us. We'll post more updates as events unfold.
