Lance Has Arrived

Lance Walker Petersen. Yes, he arrived just hours ago, on May 17th, at 6:58 pm. He is 8 lbs. 4 oz., and 22 in. long. He might even have red hair; it's still too early to tell, and we're not sure, as it changes under different lighting.

We came in to the hospital at 5:00 this morning, and she progressed steadily throughout the day. Karman's labor went fantastic, with absolutely no complications. In fact, once she was ready, she had to push for only 6 min. Both Karman and Lance are doing great, and we plan to be home on Tues.

I will add more photos tomorrow, after more family has a chance to visit.
