Born amid the snows

The bean was born on December 6th at 5:25.  She's very small and very perfect and still in the NICU, of course.  More to come. She brought a snowstorm with her, which is appropriate because her mother and I were both born in one.  Praise to the kindred (and also to the doctors and nurses and her mother while i'm at it).  it was magical, for sure.
