Introducing our newest addition

Quiet around here the last few days, eh?  There is an good reason for the silence, I promise.  At 40 weeks, 1 day, our daughter made her official debut into the world.

Enid Rose, born 2/23/09, 12:25pm, 11 pounds, 12 ounces, 23 inches in length

I plan to get my birth story typed out in the next day or so and will post it here, but in a nut shell she is perfect in every way we could imagine.  We really didn’t need all that pesky newborn clothing, anyway.  Who am I kidding, if you know us in real life, you know we are both tall people and that there was little hope of having an average-sized baby.

We were allowed to escape the hospital yesterday and for the first time since Monday, I took a shower in my own bathroom.  Who knew one could miss a dirty, tiny bathroom so much?

Quinten is quite enamored with his new sister.  We all are.
