As previously reported, she was born at 5:12pm and is 8 lbs, 2 oz (UPDATE: and 20.5 in long). Mom is doing great and cuddling up with her new baby as we speak. Below are some first pictures of our new little bundle.

Baby Sister is here! Just 3 hours after our last entry at 5:12pm, mommy delivered a beautiful 8 lb 2 oz little girl…

More updates to come shortly after we move into our recovery room…

Michelle asked me to update everyone on where we are. Well, they have officially gotten things started. As of about a half hour ago, Michelle is on Pitocin which starts the induction process. The good news is that Michelle was actually naturally half way there…so the baby knew! Now that we are on our way, it could be any hour (or day) now.

We’ll keep the updates coming…

Quick update: we’re at the hospital, and all is going well. Not much is happening (I was warned this would be a slow process), but I’ve filled out a bunch of paperwork, gotten some tests taken and talked with oodles of doctors. The exciting news: my platelets are up to 104K (!!), so there are no problems there. Next step: starting the induction process. We’ll keep you posted!

Not only do they have room for us at the hospital for induction, but Michelle is naturally having contractions this morning! We’ll update you more as things progress…
