Baby Tess was born this morning at 1130am. Her full name is Therese Claire and she weighed 8lbs 8oz and was 20 and 1/2 in long. It was a truly peaceful, quiet event and we are certain it was due to all your prayers. Thank you! Here are a few early pics. We hope to inundate you with more in the days to come. : ) 
These first three or four are right after birth. Her face was a little discolored but she is rosy now. : )
All the little boys are thrilled. Brendan especially thought this was a great idea… <g> He got to hold her after his bath.
See? Rosy : )
