The eagle has landed.


Well, the baby has landed, I guess. And she didn't really land, it was more of a gory spurt followed by the emergence of a wrinkled, purple mini-person who was promptly placed under a heater. At any rate, the baby is here.

What can I say about it? I love being a dad already. Most fun I've ever had. The actual birth went very smoothly and Amy did great. It was also very cool to watch, which surprised me as I cringe at the sight of needles. The baby is wonderful with a full head of dark hair (we're both blonde so it's kind of weird), and all she does is eat and sleep. Mostly sleep. She's awesome.

We named her Katie Hart, though "The Yellow Dart" is still on the table as a nickname. I'll get some pictures up sometime.

Congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you. I know you're probably busy adjusting and with your family and stuff right now so I'll call you next week and see how things are going.

Congratulations on Katie's safe arrival. Isn't the birth fascinating. For some reason the word that describes it for me is adventure. That's a noun, but that's how I describe it. How much did she weigh? Was your wife induced? Good thing you went with Katie, so I don't confuse her with my daughter Katherine. So how do you feel about not having sex for six weeks? It was really hard for me.
