Cookiebaker had her baby!!! (baby pics added!)

[Vermontcat]

I just got back from a busy day at work to find a very happy message on my answering machine.

Cookiebaker had her baby girl last night(Feb 12) at 7:05 PM.
She is named Lydia Mae (I hope I spelled it right).
She is 8 lb 13 oz and 19 1/2 inches.
She had her after 5 1/2 hrs of labor which doesn't sound too bad to me.
Anna said "She's perfect!" and sounds very happy. :D
She said she will call me later in the week but to let everyone at Pet Talk know that a new little Pet Talker has been born. :)

CONGRATULATIONS ANNA AND MARK ON HAVING A BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL!!! :D

I'm happy that Anna had the baby before this blizzard hit the area.
I'm not sure when she will be going home from the hospital.
Hopefully she will update us and post some photos by this weekend. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET LITTLE LYDIA MAE!!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Welcome to the PT family, cute little baby girl. Looking forward to meeting you

[Cookiebaker]

Thank you everyone, so much, for all of the sweet replies. My heart is full and overflowing right now, and I'm not sure that I can express what's really going on. I will write a new post tonight with a few pictures :D and then a more complete birth story sometime this weekend, hopefully.

Right now, we are still at the hospital with some minor complications and will hopefully find out in the morning whether we can go home Friday or have to wait until Saturday. Internet connection is dialup on Mark's laptop, so don't expect much from me until the weekend -- but it's nice to finally be able to at least check out PetTalk and my email (etc.) briefly.

Again, thank you for all the sweet comments. We are *SO* in love with baby Lydia Mae!!!! :D :D :D
