oh baby!

It's a girl! Mom called me at 6:30 this morning to let me know that emily had been in labor since about 1:30am. The arrival came sometime between 8 and 10am, and was uneventful (excepting the fact that it's an event in itself!), and the baby is healthy and happy and weighs in at 7 lbs, 15 oz, with lots of browish hair and bright blonde eyelashes and brows. I will post pictures as soon as they send some. For now, the new baby, mother and father are resting comfortably. No name for the baby yet, but the new grandmother and myself have decided that we'll be calling her Cricket, no matter what.
