Coira Aidan Reeves, born by C-section at 8:01am on May 17th. She's seven pounds even, and 51cm long. Absolutely perfect, in every way.
Ange is doing quite well, as is Coira.
I have a billion pictures, starting with her trip to the table. But I forgot the camera at the hospital, so I'll get you those tonight.
I'm a DAD!

"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."
-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)
Congrats Oldraven!!!! Aww... That's awesome! Adorable name. I am so glad to hear they are doing alright! I'm excited to see the pictures

A question I have: Is she the first niece/grandchild on either side?

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Congratulations, Oldraven and Ange, I'm so glad all went well. Welcome, Coira Aidan Reeves. May your life be blessed and sheltered and filled with love. Oldraven, all my very best wishes for you and your wee family.
