Introducing... Miss Alexandria Olivia Kokotsis!!!

Fashionably late, she decided to grace us all with her presence 6 days after her scheduled arrival... Clearly, she was waiting for the cold snap to go away - today was absolutely beautful! Sunny and balmy. Well, at least it is when you're getting accustomed to -40 degree weather.

Anyhow, labour was fast & furious - Lori got to the hospital at 4:30 am, and Alex popped out at 5:55 am!! Not bad for the first time! She went from 3 cm dialated to a full 10 in under 5 minutes - not even time for an epidural.

Poor girl... she's now terrified to pee.

However, she can officially join the ranks of women who can hold their heads up high & proudly claim to have done it all natural, no drugs required.

Please let it be known that I told her the little pink headband is gay.
