Safe at home with our beautiful prize

"Since Celia's baby was born, she had a new sense of her mental solidity and wisdom. It seemed clear that where there was a baby, things were right enough, and that error, in general, was a mere lack of that central poising force."

- George Eliot, Middlemarch

So, the happy ending: We have a son! His name is Martin George. He was not quite as enormous as predicted. And he's wonderful.

Congratulations! He's adorable! I also had a baby on July 21st (a little girl - we named her Marin Cecilia), and she's also a lover of theatre as I was performing in a production of Ragtime through my 26th week of pregnancy. It's amazing that she's so new, yet I feel like she has always been in our lives. Welcome, baby Martin!

Congrats. I love the Into the Woods quotation used on this post!

Thank you! Sounds like Martin and Marin will have to get together and listen to some showtunes! And Carrie, I was listening to "ITW" to psych me up before the big day...
