As my sister posted in the comments yesterday… the baby is here!
Margaret Elise Lyker - we’ll be calling her Maggie. 6lbs 11oz, 19 1/4 inches long, born 12:42pm on March 28, 2007.
We’re in love. And tired. And happy. And overwhelmed. And it’s fantastic.
I’ll post more later, of course. There are some fun twists and turns in the birth story, which I’ll probably need several sittings and days to write out and record for history’s sake :)
Until then: Try not to say ‘AWWWWWW!’ to this one. Just TRY.

I’ve already commented on flickr, but let me say it again - congratulations! and I love the name maggie, it’s actually one I have hidden away on my list of names, too.
I have been reading your website for years and years now - I’ve seen you and Dan dating, graduating, getting married and now you have a baby! How weird and cool is the internet? :-D

Congratulations, Jen! Like Megan I’ve been reading your blog for years (seriously, like eight, maybe?) so I feel as happy for you as I would be for any of my “real life” friends!

Count me as another one who has been reading your site for years and years, so I do feel like I ‘know’ you and am totally thrilled at your new little bundle of joy.
She is simply beautiful. Congratulations. The next few weeks are going to continue to be exhausting, overwhelming and amazing.
Congrats! I can’t wait to see more photos. And congrats to Dan as well for being the supportive, wonderful guy we all know he is. :)
