Carrie and Martha a few seconds after the birth. Martha was a bit purple on the hands and feet, but that disappeared quickly. Note large amount of thick hair. According to rumours going around the hospital staff, the hair was reponsible for the bad heartburn Carrie had at all times during the pregnancy. (left)
