If you haven't figured it out yet....

....it's a girl! Hannah Joy arrived at 11:37, she weighed 9 lbs 3 ozs, and was 20 1/2 inches long. I have too many things to do right now (like get back to the hospital and see my DAUGHTER) to give you lots of gory details about the labour and delivery. I can tell you that Jenni's labour was 5ish hours, with the first 3 hours being rather light. Although far be it from me to suggest any woman's LABOUR is LIGHT. She pushed for six minutes.

Oh, and she has red hair!! Imagine. Two redheads out of four kids.

Keith, for the SIX of us. (THAT sounds strange.)


Woo Hoo!

We are here in PA rejoicing with you! A BIG congratulations on the arrival of a dear baby girl to your family circle! Love the name! Hannah was always high on my list of names for a girl, but somehow we never did get our Hannah! And as her name suggests, may she fill your lives and home with much, much Joy! God bless you all!

Congratulations Keith and Jenni!!!
You must be thrilled to have a girl. Now the biggest challenge will be to try not to spoil her with all those doting big brothers around:-)
