Julia

When we least expected it, she was ready. Last night we had no clue. Roxi woke up at 12:30, in the middle of the night. Labour wasn't easy, but she made it look that way.

Long story short, Julia was born at 10:25 this morning. Everyone is healthy and happy. One day I might try to explain what it was like to participate, in a small way. Now I'm off to bed, hoping for a few hours of sleep. :)

Good job Julia, you look beautiful! I'm glad there is finally a girl in the family, as sewing patterns are much more fun for girls than for boys....

Tupo, don't take too many pictures of the little hands, you may cause Tia Sao to come up with off-color comments on size of heads, etc.
