It's a girl! And her name is Aerin. The family of D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty welcomed its much-anticipated baby girl this morning -- the first female born into the mayor's family in three generations. Michelle Fenty, 38, gave birth at 6:08 a.m. Monday to Aerin Alexandra Fenty at an undisclosed hospital in the city. Nine pounds, one ounce; 21 inches. The mayor, 37, was in the delivery room, and big brothers Andrew and Matthew, both 8, saw their sister soon after. "Everyone's in good health and spirits," said the mayor's rep, Mafara Hobson. Michelle Fenty told us last month that -- despite all the doctors' promises to the contrary -- she was still convinced she was going to have another boy to join the twins; she kept buying blue things when she went shopping. But yes, they did paint the nursery pink -- want to see pictures? Just so happens we've got some here.
