It's a girl, and mother and baby are both well. :o)
(As far as other details go, I don't have a great memory for numbers... 8 pounds something, and I think either 20.? or 21.? inches... I do remember that Mom said she looks like she'll have very curly hair, like Kimberly did when she was little.)
Congratulations, Carrie and Victor!

(Objectively, I still think it's a little strange that when a baby is born, almost the first thing everyone wants to know/wants to tell is his or her weight and length. I guess it's just because there's simply not much else to say-- quickly, easily, and non-sentimentally-- about a brand-new infant... Anyway, since it's probably been the custom since babies began, who am I to buck tradition? ;o))
Welcome to the world, Clarabel Arden! :o)
