Update

We are, as you may have guessed, being kept at the hospital. (This being M, at home to pick up a couple of items.) The bleeding was apparently nothing, but K's pre-eclampsia has not receded as we had hoped/thought, so she's being induced this morning. So far everything looks good. More to follow, obviously.

The Duckling Has Landed!

This is carrieb so you know what that means!  Ducky is here!

I just got off the phone with Kisha a few minutes ago and she sounded pretty tired and out of it.  She ended up getting the induction, then lots of drugs, then a c-section so she was disappointed about that.  Of course, she is very excited about the result!  A real, live, nursing-like-a-champ Ducky!

I know you all want to know the name, don't you?  

It's. . . . well. . . . 

Not decided yet.

They said they had a name all picked out weeks ago, but they just changed their mind at the last minute and aren't sure what to do yet.  She's being called Ducky right now, which is fitting.

Just the facts:
8 lbs 13 1/2 ounces (ouch!)
21.5 inches
born at 5:15 pm
2 weeks early

They should be released from the hospital on Tuesday because everything looks good.  

I'm so excited that I want to get in my car and drive to Far Away State* right this second!  Here's sending out a huge "welcome to the world" to my favorite little soul-niece and future-daughter-in-law.

*I totally can't remember if her state is public knowledge or not.
