Congratulations to Andrew Lewellen!

Big news from third-year MFA fiction writer Andrew Lewellen:

"After being 8 days late and putting Aishwarya through 24 hours of labor, Josephine Nukala Lewellen was born by Caesarean section on Tuesday, October 16 at 2:12 pm.
We were expecting a boy due to the baby's size and activity. But we both wanted a girl and were delighted when one appeared. Josephine weighed 8.9 lbs at birth and came into the world
looking suspiciously at everything she saw (particularly me!). So far she has demonstrated the same acrobatic feats she did while in the womb and appears to have her father's incessant and insatiable appetite for food.

Both baby and mother are doing well, and we are scheduled to be dismissed from the hospital on Friday.

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm delighted to share this news with you."

Congratulations, Andrew, on your new daughter!
