Marin Elaine Cronley

On Wednesday night, at 8:13, I watched as my wife gave birth to our little miracle who has been growing inside of Tracey since October of last year. And thus, the pregnancy is over and now we begin our time as The Cronley's: Three.
Statistically speaking, Marin has been right with the averages:

• 40 week, and 3 day pregnancy
  
• 7 lbs, 1 oz.
• 20 in long

But she is anything but average to us. She has amazed us with her focus and sweet smell. Her soft cry most often makes us giggle as we come to her aid. I can say unequivocally that her poop doesn't stink...yet. Most of all we are happy she is healthy and happy and so is her mom.

Thank you for all of the prayers and for tolerating the unanswered phone calls/text messages. They were not ignored...there is just a little delay right now. As our time becomes spent in other, prehaps more appropriate ways, I think that this log of our happenings remains important. Despite being so far from most of you, we feel very close. Thank you for keeping up with us and we hope everyone gets to meet our little Marin very soon.

PS Congrats to Catherine Thompson, Tracey's sister, for being the closest on the date, weight and length game. Kelly Brewer, Joe's fiancee, narrowly lost and was only 1 day off on her date guess.
