It's a girl!

[Skinner]

My sister just gave birth to a new baby girl: 8 lbs; 20 and 1/2 inches. No name yet. I just talked to my brother-in-law. He held my new niece up to the phone, and I got to hear her cry. (She's got a healthy pair of lungs!)

Mother and daughter are both doing well.

Virtual cigars for everyone!



(For those of you who remember a similar announcement from a few months back... This is my other sister.)
