Elsie's Hospital Pictures

She wasted no time during labor -- Jen and I went out to dinner on Wednesday evening and watched some TV.  Shortly after the 10:15PM weather report, the contractions started.  By 12:30AM we were at the hospital and by 2:30AM on Thursday she was born and doing well!

She was 8 lb. 1 oz. and 21 inches long.
