twist of fait accomplis

Special congratulations go today to my sister, who just gave birth to her second daughter (6 lbs., 6 oz., 20 1/8 inches long, for those of you interested in details). Interestingly, the baby came right on its due date (according to the doctor, though Stace was going by an earlier due date). The labor was 24 hours (yikes!) with the baby making her entrance about 12:30 this morning. "I tried to deliver during Golden Girls, Ryan," Stacey told me, "I made them turn it on and everything. But instead I delivered during stupid Designing Women." The baby will be named Dixie Carter (just kidding).

So, congrats Stacey, Matt, and Jules on the new addition to the family!
