Despite a routine checkup on her due date (Thursday, July 8 ) that indicated she would be snug as a bug for at least another week, Little Miss Wright arrived Friday morning at 5:35am (after a harrowing race to the hospital)…

Julie and I are proud to announce the birth of our daughter, Annabelle Jane Wright, weighing in at a healthy 8lbs 10oz and 21.5 inches, almost surpassing her papa in the size category (but not quite, much to mama’s relief)!

Mother and baby are doing great and father is resting comfortably.
