It's a boy!; It's a girl!

After much anticipation the happy day finally arrived!

Ethan Graham

Vital statistics: 7 lbs. 2 oz, 20" long. Normal delivery.

Marta Joan

Vital statistics: 6 lbs. 6 oz, 19.5" long. Emergency c-section.

Marta is thirty-five minutes younger than Ethan.

More about our rollercoaster day later (perhaps after a good nights rest). In the mean time, here are some links to a few other photos:

• Marta being weighed
• Ethan and me
• Marta having her foot prints taken
• Me donning my surgical gown
• Shauna being moved from recovery to her room while Marta's having her first bath

Dear Michael --

I am your mom's cousin. Thanks for sharing this happy news; it warmed my day. Now you have multiplied and replenished the earth, so you can cross that commandment off the list! I have a beautiful son named Ethan and a daughter by c-section as well (who arrived -- incidentally -- via the Miracle Express), but it took us two tries whereas you have made a double-play. Congratulations from our side of the family. Love. Alan.
