At 9:04 pm last evening, we welcomed Baby V into the world. V weighed 7 pounds, 5 ounces and measured in at 21 inches long. Grandma G was also in the delivery room and took some most excellent "in action" shots, but I think this "next morning" shot is a little less graphic. 
Mommy Relcuk put forth an extraordinary effort, and the whole shebang lasted nary a half hour once the pushing began. Both Mommy Relcuk and V are doing spectacularly, and they are on their way home this afternoon. Here's a picture of Daddy Relcuk watching some lady whack his kid repeatedly with a hammer shortly after birth. They say it was to clear her lungs, but I have my doubts.
As a bonus, we brought W and R to the hospital to meet their new sister today. They were both very excited to see Mommy and very interested in V. Here is the first ever full family picture. . .full family thus far at least.

Congratulations on your newest arrival! She is beautiful! Happy to hear both Mommy and baby are fine. Best wishes to you as you start your adventure with two todlers and an infant. Enjoy every moment of it all. Daddy, I enjoyed your story on potty training and watching tv.
Looking forward to more exciting stories. So happy for all five of you! With love,
