It's a...

[ocelot]

...boy.

Leif Thorsteinn Harper entered the dry world at 18:43 EDT. Hard labor didn't start until around 16:00 EDT, the doctor was coaxed into making an appearance about 18:20 (after the nurse found Jessica had dilated to 9.5) finished up 23 minutes later.

Jessica was the only non-epidural delivery that day.

Stats:
6 lbs 11 oz
18.5 inches
red hair

Family is doing fine. Christof is making all the requisite phone calls right now; I suggest not calling immediately; he's at the local Starbucks getting coffee.

Unless any more data comes through, this is Silkensteel signing off the Lemurbaby Birthwatch Network. Congratulations all around
