*she's beautiful*
Sat Dec 08 2007

Deirdre was born by emergency c-section.  With all those somersaults in utero, she managed to wind the cord around one leg, her body, and around her head.  When the baby monitor started going crazy, the hospital staff went in high gear at warp speed.  Baby was born at 02:44 Saturday morning.

Mom and baby are doing great.

Deirdre weighed in at 7.9 pounds and 20.5 inches.  She has peaches and cream complexion, and red hair--not much of it, but it's red.  We won't know for awhile whether she'll have blue or brown eyes, or maybe hazel, but I'll let you know when she decides.

Mama has a practical, pragmatic side to her,  but her eyes give her away.  Papa is all out there--a gooey, gob-smacked charming mess.

Gryffan is staying in the hospital until Tracey is deemed fit to come home...probably Tuesday.

I'm warning y'all now.  Quit reading after this if you don't want to hear all about how beautiful, how sweet, how smart, etc. etc. etc. the child is.


Bless

    OH!! Congratulations to all!!
    how wonderful.. I will enjoy reading all about the wee redhead!!
    Wonderful news..
    you know with her false labor and not dilating I wondered if she might not have to have her C-section..
    but... she (babe) will be the happiest one in the nursery.. They don't have to go through all the trauma of being born the hard way (for them) so at least that is a wonderful thing.. and mom will need a bit of extra help for a bit, but she's young and will heal up just fine...
    Congrats..
    woo hooo
