It's a GIRL!
We welcomed our little darling to the world Saturday morning. She's 19 inches long and weighs a wee five pounds nine ounces. A little on the small side but all fingers, toes, and other appendages are accounted for. The doc assures us that we did the right thing, going in after her, because of the amount of meconium in the system. (I'll let y'all Google that term, I'm too tired to explain it.) So yes, the due dates were not wildly off. She just didn't want to come out.
But now she's here and she's beautiful. And no matter how out of it I think I am, if she's sleeping in a bassinet near me, my eyes fling wide open every time she makes the slightest sound. I still just stare in wonder that she actually breathes.
