(This is Andrew. I'm posting this for Andrea who is at the hospital right now. I just stopped quickly at home to grab some supplies for her and post some photos for everybody to see.)

Great news everybody! Caroline Rose Sweat was born at 1:15 a.m. on Wednesday, May 28th, 2008. She weighed 7 lb. 2 oz. and measured 21 inches in length. Both she and Andrea are recovering exceptionally well from the whole ordeal. The labor and delivery went very quickly and very smooth. I am sure Andrea will elaborate in her own words when she is able to do so.

Caroline is a sweet little girl who has spent most of her first day sleeping, feeding, and sleeping some more. She is making all of the cute little gurgles, grunts, and newborn baby sounds. While she has a good set of lungs when she needs to cry, she usually gives a helpless little whimper (almost like a kitten mewing) when she needs attention. That little sound just melts our hearts.

Enjoy the pics:

From clear across the country in Salt Lake City we say "Welcome to the world, darling Caroline Rose!" I love that last picture of you being cradled by your family, and Andrea, you continue to look like a movie star before, during and AFTER childbirth!! We are so happy for all of you and thanks so much for getting the pictures posted so fast.

Much love

YEA! Congratulations! Cute, cute, cute pictures! We're so glad everything went smoothly and we can't wait to meet her in person. Seeing these pictures gets me even more excited to have Caroline's little cousin who's kicking me right now (probably saying "hey, why do I have to wait 3 more months?") Thanks for the posting the pics so fast, Drew!

Congrats! Caroline is beautiful, and so is her mother! It doesn't matter how old the parents are, when you see them with a new baby they look like newlyweds again.
