Audrey Penelope Hay was born on June 22, 2010 at 8:31 pm. She was 6 lbs 14 oz, and 19 inches long. In the above picture, she is just a few minutes old.
She was born in New York Downtown Hospital in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. The delivery went according to plan, more or less. The contraction phase lasted long than we would have liked (about 35 hours), but the pushing phase took less than an hour. Everyone's home now and both mother and baby are healthy and happy.

Audrey was born about a week and a day ahead of the expected due date of June 30th, but she was still term and healthy at birth. Lauren was certainly happy for the pregnancy to finally be over. Here she is on May 26:
And on June 17, five days before birth:
Is that excitement? Or fear? We cannot say for sure.
