Congratulations to Nick and Meagan Robinson, who are proud parents of a baby girl born at 6:50 this morning. Meagan gave birth to Annie Lee Robinson, a healthy seven pound, 14-ounce girl (19 & one-half inches) at Stanford Hospital.

Nick, who is a 6'6" junior on the Stanford basketball team, found time today to attend basketball practice with the unbeaten and #1 ranked Cardinal team.

The Guard/Forward from Liberty, Missouri was nicknamed "Pops" when he arrived at Stanford his Freshman year. Today, the 24 year-old father figure, who is also known as one of the most inspirational guys on the team, fulfilled his nickname.

The first thing he said when his daughter arrived was 'I'm glad you made it,'" said Robinson. "This is amazing. I am so thankful that Meagan and the baby are healthy and doing great."

Meagan and Nick met when Nick's dad was playing basketball in England. The English girl won his heart senior year in highschool, but he left her for twenty-two months to fulfill his dream of going on a Mormon mission.

He spent nearly two years in Maceio, Brazil sharing the Gospel and sharpening his mental skills. The experience wasn't great for his love life or basketball, but he learned what hard work means.

When he returned from his mission, he married Meagan and started college at Stanford in September 2000. Today, in addition to being the oldest, and one of the most influential players on the basketball team, he is studying for a degree in Political Science.
