We're happy to welcome Daniel Martin to the family. He was born at 10:41 a.m. today. He weighs 7 lbs., 4 oz., and is 19 1/4 inches long. He and Mary are doing great, resting in her room at UI Hospitals.

Here's the first of what promises to be many, many pictures.

He has an IV in his right hand because he's getting antibiotics as a precautionary measure because some initial blood test showed he might have an infection. If he does have one, they'll give him more antibiotics for a few more days; if not, he's good to go.
