Karaleah S. Reichart and Daniel E. Reichart (U. North Carolina) report:

At 7:13 PM EDT (23:13 GMT), we observed the entire 20 3/4 inch length of the 7
pound 8 ounce GRB (Great Reichart Baby) 020611 with the staff of the Winchester
Medical Center Labor and Delivery Unit beginning 43 hours after the initial
burst of labor.

Mother and baby, Johnathan Eric, are doing well.

Visual comparison with the parents reveals remarkable similarities.  Images
will soon be available at http://www.members.aol.com/ksreichart/baby.html.

We apologize for the approximately 20 hour notification delay, but this is
relatively fast for an IPN (I'm a Parent Now) notice.
