So, after much anticipation, my wife finally delivered our new daughter at 1:31 this morning. Ruth Michelle came into the world weighing in at 8lbs 11oz and measuring a moderate 20.5 inches long. The shortest of our 4 children at birth, she boasts the heaviest weight, and she has gotten glowing reviews from all her health tests here in her first 12 hours of life. Thanks to all those of you who have been waiting patiently with us. We will be posting more pictures as time goes on, but here is one of her at 2-3 minutes old to end out this post.
