Introducing.....

Marin Andrea Benz James!!!

After waiting until one day past her due date (guess she didn't want to be a St. Paddy's Day girl!), Miss Marin entered the world at 1:37p.m. on March 18. All in all the labour was pretty fast (started at 6:00 a.m., we were admitted by 10:30, and she arrived at 1:37), but the lack of drugs made it a memorable affair!!

She weighed in at a whopping 7lbs 8oz, which for our kids is ENORMOUS!! She's fairly long as well, measuring 20.5 inches. Of course she is just perfect and beautiful in every way, and now that we're back home we're trying to settle in with four little ones. The 'big' kids are quite taken with her, and keep asking: "Where's Marin?"

Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure!

Wait! I want to go back in!
