It's a Girl !!!

We can finally call Carrie and Bryan "Mom and Dad" !!

Carrie gave birth to Lily Ruth Carbol Ritcey on August 17, at 11:47pm. Lily weighed in at 8lbs 12 1/2 oz, and was 20 3/4" long. Bryan just called from the hospital, he was on his way to get something to eat.

I was the last one to hear -- my kids turned the phone down !!

He also said Carrie was tired and sore, but so very happy. She was in labor at 10 yesterday morning, and her contractions were 10 minutes apart when they went into the hospital, so it was a long tough day for her. I want to rush over to the hospital to see them, but I think i'll wait. It can be overwhelming to have everyone crowding into your room when all you want is a shower and some sleep.
