New baby

My friend, and fellow RD, Rachel had her baby on Thanksgiving morning. I received a text at 6:30 AM with the good news. Quite possibly one of the only conditions that waking me from a deep sleep with a text message is acceptable! :) Little Connor Samuel Gerber was born at 2:29 Am - weighing 8 lb, 9 oz and measuring 21 inches long. I walked over to the hospital after dinner to visit the happy little family. Rachel looked amazing! She had showered, done her hair, and even was wearing a dress...such an impressive woman! :) And while a 8 1/2 lb baby is not small, he sure felt tiny as I cuddled him in my arms. Here's a photo of the proud parents with their new little one.
