Melissa Irene was born today at 2:11 pm, weighing 6 lbs 10 oz, and 18 3/4 inches long. She looks a lot like Beth. She is staying in the NICU for now, so they can monitor her blood sugar, which was apparently way off. Mom is in town; she got to Warsaw tonight and I ran home to meet her. I was running late so we met at the Applebee's. I then ran to pick up Alex (left with friends again), and he had just gone down when I got there. He woke up right away, and as soon as he saw me he just cried and cried. Poor guy has hardly seen daddy in 2 days and hasn't seen mommy at all. If only he knew what he was in for.
