Hello Whirled
Friends and internets, welcome Isabel Deidre Mueller!
Quite. The. Day (since 10:50 p.m. last night, that is). D. and Is. are healthy, resting. I'd go on and on about it if not for the vertiginous sleep deprivations. Finer points: delivered at 1:30 p.m. this afternoon and measured in at 4 lbs., 7 oz. and 19".
Added: More photos.

Oh, how exciting! Congrats!
Posted by: Nels at August 1, 2006 10:45 PMO.K., you lied! I think she is beautiful and thus, looks like her mama! I can't wait to see her. The boys are excited and Tr. is already talking about his new "baby cousin". Congratulations and welcome Isabel to the chaos!
Posted by: Lisa at August 1, 2006 11:14 PMCongrats! She is awfully cute, and in your hands, looks so tiny. Lemme know if you two need anything. Give my best to Dottie, too.
Posted by: jenwingard at August 1, 2006 11:44 PMWow!! Isabel picked one hot and memorable day to make her grand entrance. I'm so happy for you all.
Congrats Dad, Mom, and brother....
Most excellent. Kudos to the whole family.

Posted by: Uncle Greg & Aunt Sue at August 2, 2006 11:27 AMI've been married to the same woman for 33 years, Derek, and we have no children. It's pleasing to know you the way I do, as an excellent course developer and teacher and then see the bright future you hold in your hands. You're a credit to what you do. And, you have a wonderful life ahead! -Steve Lees

Thanks, everybody, for the sweet-steady waves of support and joyful exclamations. D. and Is. should be coming home later today. I'll have more to say about it soon. But know that everyone remains healthy and happy. I'll also include a link to the photo from the hospital as soon as it's up on growingfamily.com.
