The Baby-

Elsie Mae Shumway joined our family at 8:10 pm on June 5th. She came pretty quick, only 3 1/2 hours of labor for Adah. Elsie was 6 pounds 13 ounces, and 18 3/4 inches tall, or long depends on your view.

Elsie's APGAR scores were quite good, all 8's and 9's. She is scheduled to take the GRE in mid July.


This is Elsie and a thermometer. She got a little cold a few hours after being born, and had to spend a little bit under the warmer until she got her temperature back up.


Here's mom and baby looking oh so cute!

Mom and Baby are both doing fine as witnessed in the above photo.
