Jeff (Poppy) and Tracy (Mimi) Wilhelm are ecstatic to announce the birth of their granddaughter, Lillie Marie Couchman. She was born at 1:19 this morning, perfectly healthy and with no induction necessary. There were not any complications after the initial blood pressure scare. Lillie weighed in at 7 lbs., 4oz., and was 21 inches long—"and absolutely gorgeous." Mom (Michelle), dad (Ian), and baby are resting comfortably and should go home tomorrow. The Wilhelms write, "God heard our prayers . . .. Thank you, brethren, for your prayers. We love you all so much and look forward to driving you all nuts with pictures of her at Feast!"
