It's a..........









Girl! I (Cory) have taken the liberty to take command of "the Blog" seeing as my wife is incapacitated at the moment. It all started this morning at 4:30 a.m. - yes, extremely early in the morning - as the Doc had scheduled induction at 5:00. They hooked her up to the "pit" and but nothing was happening 'til they popped the water balloon. 7:20 the Doc came and did just that and the game was over before it started. Brooklyn Grace was born 9:48a.m. And, due to Grandma's delicious pot roast she cooked last night, she came weighing in at an astonishing..... 8lbs, 10.6oz. Yes, she was quite "healthy". Grandma's pot roast is that enticing. She was 19.5 inches tall - Girls' got some thighs!

In all seriousness we are extremely grateful for the smooth, safe, and healthy delivery. I know most babies aren't necessarily the cutest upon the immediate post womb exit, but Brooklyn really is amazingly cute and has a head of hair to follow. Any how, here are some immediate photos - I'm not all the skilled at the Blog thing so I'm just going to post the photos as is. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers and we are certainly excited to welcome this girl to this world.
