OK, no photos yet, as she's still in the CICU, but our daughter arrived late Tuesday night, 3/9/2010.
Unlike the guesstimate of 6lbs & change, she weighed in at 8lbs 1oz and measured 19.75 inches.
Her name is Gwendolyn Elaina and she's charming everyone she meets. Just like Daddy.
As of today, she's still exclusively breastfed (well, I've managed to pump some colostrum) and recovering very well from her catheterization procedure (described in Lounge in late December) yesterday.
Also, I got to hold her this morning. I want to go and hold her again after I pump this afternoon.
