She arrived at 5:34 a.m. after a roller-coaster night. We are all well. Here's the big surprise: whereas her brother weighed in at 9 lb 5 oz, this peanut weighs only 5 lb 9 oz. 18.5 inches long. Perfect. (And nearly named. Stay tuned.)
Mostly silly with a chance of insightful.
Welcome Polly! Delightful! Will mention at meeting tomorrow if no other readers/attenders do.
And oh yeah - props to the kilowatt hour.

Ooh! I do love a teeny baby. You can really appreciate how they grow when they start off that small.
Brava!
