I'd like to announce the birth of Julie. The girl we expected from our 18 week ultrasound was born today just moments before 3:00 in the afternoon. We had the name Julie picked out long ago and no other names. What started out as a practice run to the hospital at 9:00 in the evening on Thursday turned into the real deal when we asked to have a few minor labour indicators checked out. The official line is:
Julie Wei Reynard. 14:59 25 May 2007. 3.644 kg (8 lbs 0.5 oz). 49.5 cm (19.5 in). Cute as a button but that's a biased opinion.
Mother and baby are doing fine and expected home tomorrow. I'll update more after a little sleep since my last real sleep ended after just six hours at 6:45 on Thursday morning. See some photos!
Julie must have been reacting to events taking place in England with her soon-to-be cousin. My sister was induced on Wednesday but it took until the wee hours of Saturday for Joshua Arthur to make his appearance. We had briefly hoped that the two would share a birthday so Mom would have an easier time remembering dates. Josh is only three hours and 47 minutes younger than Julie but, due to the time change, he'll have to wait that extra day for his cake and presents. Congratulations to Tim and Leslie.
