Here are the promised pictures.

Our little one started her contractions yesterday morning, went to the hospital last night, and delivered this morning around 11 AM.

Everyone came through with flying colors, except the grandparents in the waiting room!! It was a looooong night, and we didn't have the benefit of drugs!

Seriously, Mom is doing absolutely great...and she thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers. They helped.

Thanks for your patience, all! Here are the pictures we promised.

Isn't she a cutie?

Not that I'm biased in any way...at least, no more than the major media outlets are biased!!!

The sum of squares of any two sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

So she's beautiful and a genius . . . congratulations and God's blessings on her precious life.

Hey! If somebody who only weighs 6 pounds can have a double chin, I don't feel so bad now! LOL!!!

Lovely, alert child. Thank you for sharing the pictures. Thank you for sharing the wonderful news!

(I put a picture up of the MBABGDITW2 on the Canteen. Perchance if -- for some reason -- you've been too busy to see it, you can remind me later and I'll proudly arrange a private showing!) ;)

Many many thanks for all the kind words and prayers from all the gallant FReepers!

Beth, Piper and I are all home now. It's a little after noon on Friday. The baby's doctor told us that she is as perfect as can be. Beth and I are pretty tired (moreso her than me), but it's much easier being at home.

Thanks again to everyone. I'll try and keep you posted as things develop. So far, we've gotten the first smile, the first wailing session, the first big burp, the first really dirty diaper (oh yeah, I found that little surprise...), the first car ride, and a few other firsts that never really seemed relevant or important until now!

As a last thought...what should her FR name be?
