Baby Caroline Dorothy Henry was born on May 29, 2002, at 5:10am.  She weighed in at 7 lbs. 4 oz. (officially; 3311 grams), and was 19 inches long at birth.  She came out happy and healthy, with remarkably little effort (according to Maureen, of course!)

Since then, she has taken over the house, been dubbed variously "the Bug", "Carolina Bean", and most recently simply "the Queen".

Her middle name, Dorothy, is after Peter's late mother.  Her first name we simply liked and thought it fit her character.  We whittled the choices down to a handful, and made the final decision after she arrived, so we could get a sense of what might be the best fit.  Caroline jumped out immediately as the right choice.
