Overall, there were some difficulties but nothing that wasn't overcome quickly.  The doctors and nurses were excellent (she was born at Edwards Hospital in Naperville, IL) and everyone is doing just fine.

There will be more pictures showing up from time to time as the proud first-time parents will most assuredly be going crazy with the camera.  :)
