Everyone, please welcome Annika Christine Murphy!

Well, the last couple of weeks seemed like they were going to last forever. At the end of every day at the office, I cleaned up and prepared for the inevitable "Its time" call. It happened on my work from home day, which made things much easier. Annika was born at 12:28 pm on November 11th. 11/11/2005, kind of a cool date to say, ain't it? She was 7 lbs 14 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long.
