Introducing Benjamin Zack Conley
Nov. 8, 2005

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Dave Conley and Elsa Conrad today announced an event eight months in the making: the birth of their first child, Ben, at 8:28 am EST.

"He was five weeks early, but we wouldn't have minded waiting," said the new father.

That sentiment was echoed by Ben's mother, whose heroic exertions capped a three-day rollercoaster ride that began with a drive to Elliot Hospital on Nov. 6 when Elsa experienced minor discomfort. Expecting a routine checkup but receiving news that her water had indeed broken, the beleaguered pair abruptly accelerated their original Dec. 10 due date.

Some vital statistics:
* Young Ben weighed a relatively robust 5 pounds, 11.8 ounces at birth. Length: 21 inches.
* Eyes: blue. Hair: strawberry blond, much admired by an endless parade of nurses.
* Health: good, if a little jaundiced. He was slow to take milk, but is now feeding happily.
