Announcing the birth of Vivian Sophia Diana Weiss.
There are other pictures that will be included later, once located -- my father took a bunch of shots, including one with Uncle Spencer holding the girl as he previously held the boy, but I managed to misplace the CD.
Here's Mer the night before the big day, in WeeV's new room, formerly my office:

Speaking for myself, it was a much easier birth than the previous one. It certainly took less time. I asked to help with the delivery, like my friend Louis had, but the OB laughed me off. I was left with cord cutting duties. Luckily, I cut flesh with a certain panache. Here, I'm handing WeeV to her mom after she's been weighed and wrapped up:

I had our wedding cake folks make Mer a baby-havin' cake. Here the boy eyeballs it greedily (he gets that from me):

She is the most beautiful baby!! I can't stand how cute she is! I know it's still early, but I think she looks JUST like you, Mere - Congrats on an adorable, healthy baby girl - we can't wait to meet you, WeeV!
Congratulations guys! She is a doll. Here's wishing you good eats, sleeps and poops.
Jen & Louis
What gorgeous photos...also, Meredith, I find it totally unjust that you get to look that great just before and after having a baby! Give her a big sloppy kiss for me!
After watching the video again, Mere, I think if you put a pink crocheted hat on your head and took a picture, you and Vivian would be twins : )
Guys, my hats off to you to yet another beutiful child. May your nights be peaceful and her days be healthy.
P.S. Meredith, I hate to say it but you look like you should be holding some numbers in front of your chest in that second pregnant pic. :-)
Easily one of the five cutest babies I have ever seen in my whole life! Absolutely adorable. And Mere, your hair is looking great! Congratulations!
How beautiful - Mere and Vivian. We are so glad you all are happy and healthy!
She's a beauty! I don't know how you managed to be all belly once again Mere! You look/looked fabulous. We also see Meredith in Vivian big time. Congratulations again. Zach looks thrilled with the cake...at least (:
Congratulations to this grand family! The little one (and big boy too) are just so precious! You both sure do have pretty babies.
She is gorgeous!! (and well dressed)
I have to chime in, when I saw those photos I thought, "she sure looks familiar - she must look a lot like Meredith."
