Our new arrival


We finally had the baby!!!  Kate was born (rather quickly) at 8:59 p.m. on December 8.  My water broke at 8:00 p.m., and we didn't get to the hospital until 8:30.  Lucky for us that we made it to the hospital in time (not in time for an epidural though)!!!  She weighed in at 8 lbs. 13 oz., and was 21" long.  She is such a sweet baby and we are truly blessed to have her as part of our family.
