Introducing Baby Lichen!


As many of you already know, our son Lichen arrived earlier today! After a far more tumultuous (16 hour) labor than I was expecting, he was born at 2:11pm, weighing eight pounds, two ounces, and measuring twenty inches in length.


I will apprise you of the details of his birth story over the next few days, but for now, shall we get to the part in which you are most interested?


Pictures!!

Be sure to check in tomorrow, as we begin to rehash the details of the big event!
