Baby!


Paula Kathleen
"Polly"
born at home
December 31, 2007 1:21 AM
8 lbs, 0 oz
born hand first (!), reaching out to explore the world already,
and with a full head of black hair, a first for us.
As usual with newborn pictures, the photo does not do her cuteness justice.
Mother and baby are doing well.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

An Explanation of the Names:
Paula after St. Paula, friend of St. Jerome and collaborator with him on the Vulgate Translation.
Also in honor of the upcoming Year of St. Paul (2008-2009) to be proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI.

"Polly" after Lady Polly Plummer of Narnia :)

Kathleen after her paternal grandmother.

Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes!
