My granddaughter, Carleigh Rose, was born just a few minutes ago, about 6:40 am. My son called a little while earlier, and said his wife was fully dilated and effaced, and about to start pushing. A half-hour later, Carleigh was born. He said it was the easiest thing he’d ever seen. Mom didn’t even break a sweat.

Our little newcomer is 20 inches long, and she weighs 7 lbs., 10 oz. She’s healthy, and screamed her indignation right away. We’re all very pleased and proud.
