She's Here

Baby Icing arrived on Monday night! She was a surprising 9 pounds and 1 ounce and 20 inches. I'm glad they didn't let her stay in for another week! Thanks to my great doctor and the wonderful nurses, it was a very positive experience...and lots of thanks to the kind resident who brought me lots of ice chips and helped with the delivery. We're home from the hospital and trying to get settled, so I'll try to post some pictures soon. Her first name starts with a K, and so far, the cats seem to think that she is someone best admired from a safe distance. Thanks for your kind thoughts and wishes!
