IT'S A GIRL!

In a pleasant and early surprise, Jen and I welcomed a baby girl into our lives today (May 19, 2008) at 12:10 p.m. We named her Addison Lynn. She weighed 5 lbs. 10 ounces and was 19 1/4 inches long. Addison and Jen are doing well and are recouperating at Douglas County Hospital, Alexandria (OB Room #9) ... although Dad could be a different story. :-] Although she was three and a half weeks early, she is doing very well and we are tentatively slated to be home Wednesday.

Here are the first 'official' pictures of her arrival!

Her first close-up!

We hope to post more images soon! Well wishers can give us a call on either of our cell phones. We'd love to hear from you!

Mike, Jen and Addison Cihak

CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!

Today will be the best and worst day of your life. The best because you have a little girl and you will never experience love like you will feel for her, and it will last a lifetime. Your worst because you will never stop worrying about her:).

Shelly & I wish you the best of luck and welcome you to the parent club.

Congrats Jen and Mike,

She is beautiful! Can't wait to meet her in person. Who would have thought that all that laughing would actually begin the labor process!?

Take Care,
