4.0 drops!!!

It's a Girl!

I am officially surrounded.

At 7:59 tonight Beth gave birth to a 8.4 lb pink bundle of joy. They are both resting comfortably after an efficient five hours of labor. Beth went so quick that the hospital wasn't able to get an epidural in, and let me tell you if you haven't seen it in person, labor au natruale is no joke. Even I needed pain medication after that was over.

Beth's mom and sister were able to be there and, at least as far as experiences of coming into the world go, this one seemed pretty good. We're thinking about calling her Calla, after the Greek for beautiful (not just the cosmetic, but the more eternal flavor). For the Greeks, the beautiful was not simply a measure of sensory pleasure, but was intimately tied to ultimate goodness.

Suggestions? Objections?

More details (and hopefully pictures) later.
