Zander's Here!

On Friday, September 26, Katie started having strong contractions. We made the trip to the hospital at about 8 pm. She received the epidural around 10 pm and labor went well from there. She started to push at 5:30 am and the baby came at 6:06 am on Saturday, September 27. Katie handled the labor very well; I'm very proud of her.

So, we've called the baby "Zander" for the past 9 months. For some reason, we expected a boy. But she's a beautiful baby girl with a head full of dark hair. And her name is Mackenzie. And we love her very much. She's doing great so far; very calm and a good eater. She loves to fling her hands around, even sucking on them when she's supposed to be eating. She has a cute cowlick on the front-right of her head. Long fingers and toes. She knows her mom's voice. And she even holds her head up. We're very proud.
