After a long labor, Erin gave birth to this beautiful red-headed girl today at 6:49 central time. Poor Erin is exhausted, and I’m tired too, but wow. Words fail me.
More info and pix soon. (Click the one above for a larger image.) Thanks to everyone who has sent good wishes by email or otherwise; I’ll be talking to you soon.
Update 10/28: We’ve decided to name her Madelyn.

I just found this message site. I am beside myself with wanting to get my hands on that sweet baby girl. She looks like Erin and my mom with the ski -nose. Or is it Bradley’s cute nose? She is too adorable. Erin is a trooper and Bradley was right there with her. A good team.
Love,
Mama Bits
