Emily Jane Shaha reported for duty 0716 hrs 29 April 2008, weighing in at 8 lbs 7 oz and standing tall at 21 inches (she really isn't standing very well just yet). Marinda was tougher than ever, and is already the best new mom on the planet. One of the Lord's tender mercies came as birth events neared culmination and Marinda had not been able to contact Ben in the hospital facility (neither cell nor wi-fi); for some reason when crunch time arrived the cell phone connection was made and the internet connection cooperated as well and Ben attended the birth virtually from Kandahar, Afghanistan via cell phone and minicam. Connectivity was lost soon after Emily's arrival, but another of those little miracles allowed Ben to be there when Marinda needed him most. We all pray their family can be together very soon, but these new technologies sure make the separations more bearable.

Looks like she has Bell's Palsy.
