I haven't actually made any posts about the fact that she has even been born so for those who don't already know, Zoe Katharine entered the world December 12, 2006 at 12:04pm. She was 4 weeks early because I developed severe preeclampsia and the primary treatment is giving birth. She weighed 4lbs, 8oz and was 17 1/14 inches long and spent some time in the neo-natal intensive care unit but was doing so well that she was able to come home with us when I came home from the hospital. We've been home a week and she's already up to 5lbs.

I plan to post an excruciatingly detailed birth story in installments but I'm not ready to start that tonight. I've got a sleeping baby in my arms right now. She's really amazing -- awesome, in the true sense of the word.

Nana took this picture of me, Mark & Zoe today.
