Happy new Year to all, and what a way to start 2005..just
wanted to share that we had a baby girl..

Anna Zdena Ruth was born at 3:36 AM Jan 4th. Mom and baby are doing well,
my wife had a relatively merciful labor, after arriving at the Womens hospital at 1am. She was real a trooper, receiving admiration by the nurses and chose to go it without anesthetic.
At birth Anna weighed 7lbs & 11.6 ounces, 21 cm long..
(named after my Grandma, the kindest person I knew, and our moms)

It is truly a joy I could not have imagined...
