The Duckling Has Landed!

[same_sky]

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.

You know, I kept thinking today that it would just be weird and wonderful for her if Ducky was born on Mother's Day. So Ducky was a bit early, but hey. Not bad for her first Mother's Day after all, right?

Congratulations to them all!

Yippee! I'm so glad to hear that she is here and doing well and healthy and you can finally see your miracle baby! I couldn't get on the computer until now (late Saturday night) but I somehow had a feeling something was going on today.

That's a big girl for 2 weeks early. Well done!

I am glad to hear everyone is well!

Welcome Ducky!! I believe now you can leave the hospital without a name, but since you aren't expected to go home before Tuesday, there is plenty of time. I hope you don't do what my Dad did though, and go to the gift shop and buy a baby name book!

Congrats!!!

Nothing wrong with having to have a c-section, if that's what it takes to get that ducky out. :) Either way, I'm so glad to hear the baby has arrived! Congratulations!
