So I’ve been up for 39 hours so this will be brief.

Steph’s water broke Tuesday night, predictably while I was working late.

Seventeen hours of labor later and a half hour of pushing and Veronica Jane Mangino was born.

She’s 21 inches long and weighed in at 8 pounds 9 ounces. She looks like Jackie Cooper and is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life.

Much longer posts to come, but I am punchy tired and Veronica is sleeping.
So, check out the photo set here

Thank you for all the well wishes.

See you soon.
