We’re home now, just relaxing. More later– for now here’s some pictures.

Mollie and I are very excited to announce the arrival of our daughter, Natalie Paige! Natalie was born this morning, March 1st 2007, 9:47 AM Pacific Standard Time, at Los Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks, CA, weighing in at 7 lbs, 6 oz, and measuring 21 inches long. Some of you probably know that her due date was actually March 23rd, but even being a few weeks early Natalie is healthy and strong, and has had no troubles of any kind. Both Natalie and Mollie are doing great afterwards, and we’re thrilled to welcome little Natalie into the world and our family.

Here’s a few pictures. No closeups of Natalie’s face on my camera yet, but those will come soon.

These two pictures are of Mollie shortly after receiving an epidural anesthetic. She looks much happier than she did 15 minutes before!

On the left is Natalie’s very first picture! It was taken less than a minute after her birth. On the right is Natalie’s second visit to her proud Mommy.
