Hi everyone - thanks for the e-mails, blog comments, IMs, and phone calls!
On Sunday December 9 at 9:48a eastern time, our first child, Ava, was born. She was exactly 8lbs in weight, 20.75 inches long, and immediately displayed impressive lung/vocal power. Mom and baby are both doing well - we slept 6 hours last night (split up between feedings!).
I'm not going to blog too much about her - Dale does an excellent job maintaining our personal blog, and I'm sure she'll write about her in detail.
Here's a few pics from her time in the hospital:
One minute old, and the first picture of her taken by me.

About a day old.

Getting changed by Mom in preparation for the trip home.
Dressed up to go home (that's my hand in there - she's tiny!).

Thanks, Jared, for the low-light no-flash photo tips at MAX!
