It's a Boy

Susan's due date was yesterday, which came and went without much excitement. I noticed she wasn't in bed this morning at 5:00. I went downstairs to check on her and she was starting to have contractions. They didn't get close enough together until 7:30 or so. We went to the hospital and she moved right along. Jacob - we haven't agreed on a middle name yet - Clark was born ca. 10:00 this morning. He weighs 7.5 pounds and is 19 inches long for those of you who are interested in such things. He's got a lot of dark hair and the nurses swear he's one of the cutest newborns they've seen (though I doubt they tell many parents that they've given birth to one of the ugliest babies they've ever seen). He is pretty cute though and doesn't have the squished face of a lot of newborns. Here's a few photographs:

That's all for now
