We are so happy to announce the birth of our daughter, Lena Ruth Harnik. Lena was born at 8:20 this morning, September 6, 2007 in Oak Park, Illinois. She is incredible. She weighs in at 7 lbs 3 oz and is 18" long. She has a face like a prize-fighter (Paul's also been likening it to a sailor with a five o'clock shadow) after being born in the rather unusual presentation of face first after quite a lengthy period of labor. Here is a photo taken a few minutes after Lena was born by our doula, Hilary.
Here Morgan and Lena prepare for some much needed rest earlier this afternoon.
The three of us in post-birth bliss.

we are sooooo happy for you all and love you all so very much!
Now that I've seen your pictures, little Lena Ruth is a sublime reality for me. What a joy. Please give her a gentle kiss from me to welcome her in the world. Arms around you all! Love, Jennifer
What a beautiful loving family. I am so happy for all of you!
I will be returning to Kenya in two weeks and will get to see my (unofficial) new granddaughter -child of a woman I help support.
I can't wait to hold her.
What a wonderful time for bringing our future hopes and dreams into the world!!
Congratulations! What a beautiful family!
Lots of love,
Elizabeth and Robert
