From Jamey Richardson’s email:

Catherine “Kate” Elizabeth Richardson joined us at 1:10 AM on Thursday, May 24, 2007. She weighed in at a very healthy 8 pounds 3 ounces and measuring 20 3/4 inches in length (pretty good for a week early). She looks a lot like Jack when he was born and has a healthy, rosy color; no jaundice on this girl. She’s a looker and even has Jack’s dimple.

Nicole handled this delivery beautifully. Her contractions had been counting down from 15 minutes for about 24 hours and stalled out a few times. Nicole went to the park and the gym to walk and make those contractions work harder. It worked. We arrived at the hospital about 10:15 PM on the 23rd. She was checked around 10:45 and was already at 8 centimeters. It was a bit of a rush to get everything prepped for childbirth. Kate arrived after only two rounds of pushing. All the hard work paid big dividends.

Needless to say we are extremely excited and very proud of our gorgeous new addition. Thanks to everyone for the prayers and support. Feel free to come see her live and in person. We are at the Northport DCH in room WP12.

- Jamey (and Nicole)
