At 2:49pm on Friday, my daughter Mary was born! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife is recovering nicely. She had a problem after the birth, but with rest and iron supplements she'll be fine. My baby girl weighed 7 pounds 5 oz, and was 20" long.

I watched as little of the detail of the birth as possible. I must say that watching my wife go through that process ... WITHOUT any drugs or pain meds at all ... was truly awe-inspiring. I have to say "I'm not worthy!" after that experience. Simply amazing.

Since I'm no longer a subscriber I can't post too easily. When I get a chance to put pics on Photobucket, I'll link them here.
