It's a Girl - Makenna Rose Cronin!

Most of you reading this have already received the happy news via Kevin:

Our little clan has a new addition....

Makenna Rose Cronin was born at 5:13 PM on Sunday, January 25, 2009 at the Cronin household.

This house has probably had many births before since it's so old, so it's appropriate that we continue this tradition.

Darcy was in labor for only an hour as she waited patiently in the birthing pool for the contractions to provide a passport for our new arrival. She pushed for only eight minutes, and Kieran was in the room before we discovered that she is a little girl.

Makenna translates to "happiness" in Irish. Her middle name is taken from Mom's and since she was born in the City of Roses it has a special connotation. She joins her big brother Kieran, who is ecstatic and has kissed his sister every chance he gets. Makenna is sleeping and eating like a champ already and squeaks to let us know she's in the room.

Darcy is feeling great and is well on her way back. We appreciate all the love and support from our friends and family.

The whole family has the week together so we look forward to catching up with everyone.

Love,

Kevin, Darcy, Kieran, & Makenna
