Oh my dear heavens, I have a daughter

Waiting for Evie If you’ve been eyeballing my Twitter, you know that Evie is here! But first things first. We got to the hospital at the bell toll of 10:00am and got set up right away in our “holding room”. I call it that because it’s the room right next to the doors to the operating room and it’s the same room I had to sit and wait in when Liam was born. We watched some really strange things on TV, including a program that included time-lapse photography of a decomposing cow. It was way wrong. But it kept us busy.

6lbs, 8.7oz Lucky us though, we got in right on time. I was taken back to the OR five minutes past noon. I won’t detail anything here (I’ll leave that for my birth story post!). Needless to say, Evie made her arrival into the world at 12:29pm, weighing a grand total of 6 pounds and 8 and a half ounces. So this means that Violet won the “What Will She Weigh” contest! Violet, shoot me an email at callistawolf AT gmail DOT com and I’ll get your addy so I can send you a little somethin’. Though Southernbelle gets an honorable mention for getting the closest guess in on her time of birth. Way to go guys! And thanks to EVERYONE for putting in guesses. It was SO fun to read them while I was busy freaking out about having a baby. Heh.

I’m beat. I’ve got lots of stories to share with you all. I’ll leave it at that for now. In the meantime, it looks as if I WILL get to watch “LOST” tonight. Woo hoo!

She is absolutely adorable. I mean, don’t take my word for it. Take a look for yourselves…

Liam surprised us by being so interested in her. He even tried to give her a kiss. Unprovoked!
