And Now, Phoebe

 a newborn in the newness of May 7 at 12:49 am, after a few hours of intense labor
8 lbs. 8 oz, 21 inches long

we are all well, thanks be to God!










p.s. The unrelated blog post on May 8 was scheduled prior to her birth.  When I upload a batch of photos, I usually churn out a spate of blog posts. Don't fret - I am devoted to the baby sweetie and there will be random silences on the blog for a while!

And p.p.s. I am happy to share way more details about Phoebe in private conversations and emails than I am in a public blog, so feel free to ask away with the understanding that my answer might be delayed. . . .

Lovely baby, lovely name, lovely family!

Congratulations! Which doesn't even seem like the right word for a BABY.. so... maybe "felicitations" and a chorus of trumpets and shower of blossoms?
