She was born almost three weeks ago on June 11, 2011 at 11:01pm. We had a precipitous (and fortunately therefore very short) labor and she came out eyes wide and lungs working - 5lbs 14oz and 18.5 inches. We're home (Lucius too - he's out of daycare for the summer) and doing well. We'll probably be hosting a "meet the baby" party sometime in July, but possibly not 'til after Pennsic, cuz I know how busy you all are. :)<br><br>Best-<br> Simcha<br><div> </div><hr style="width:100%;height:2px;"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="440"><tbody><tr></tr><tr> <td valign="top"><font color="#000000" face="VERDANA,
