Please join me in welcoming Laila Cosette Tomhave, born at 5:55pm EST on 26 August 2008. She is 20.5" long and weighs in at a whopping 8lbs 5oz! Mother and baby are doing well.

Greetings! Bringing you a special live blogging event today (mostly for family and friends) of the birth of our first child. We're at the hospital now, settled into the maternity ward, where Hanna is progressing very well. Contractions started around 12:30pm today, and in the last 3.5 hours she has progressed to a good 7cm. We're just trying to settle in now for the rest of the ride and hope that everything goes well.

A special THANK YOU to Eddie for stepping up and helping us retrieve Hanna's purse, which we kind of accidentally left at home. The purse contains the ID that we'll need to get all three of us out of here together eventually. 3 cheers for Eddie!
