A BABY!!

We announce the birth of Ms. Merkley!! We are fairly certain on a name, but are just trying it out for a day or two. She was born at 00:05 (12:05 AM) on Monday morning. She weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces, is 21 inches long, and was speaking in complete sentences by the time I cut the cord. Lauren is doing well, but is very tired after starting contractions some 20 hours before the main event. She already has a double chin like her daddy!
