I added some pre-baby pictures at the top and lots more incredibly cute pics at the
bottom... and yes, there are pics of daddy with Melissa this time. :)

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. :)
