Welcome Acadia Beatrice Lynch-Raymond

Hello!

At 6:54am on January 2nd, 2006, Acadia Beatrice Lynch-Raymond entered 
our world, weighing 7lbs 9oz and measuring approximately 20 inches.

The journey was not easy, as Maura Jo labored for over 24 hours at home, 
before needing to have the final three pushes at Midstate Medical Center 
in Meriden, CT.

Complications with Acadia's umbilical cord resulted in a trip to the 
hospital, something we tried to avoid.  Both Maura Jo and Acadia are 
doing great and have no ill effects as a result of the long and often 
intense labor.  Maura Jo delivered Acadia via natural childbirth without 
the interventions of "medical" science.  She's a strong and awesome woman!

A big thanks to our midwives, who's professionalism, calm and wisdom 
made the birth of our daughter a wonderful event.
