My granddaughter has entered the world!!!!

Lillian Estelle (Lily) was born at 6:22 pm.

I do not have a weight or length on her yet, as my DIL took her straight to the breast and the doctors have not taken those stats.

Mother and daughter are well.

Length of labor/delivery (after receiving induction meds): 52+ hours.

Congratulations! Love the name.

Glad to hear both are well. If she turns out to be stubborn, you were forewarned.

Is this your first grandchild? Wait till the first time you hold her. Instant love.

Please keep us updated on Lily. I would like to hear about her as she grows up.

unless you count the blended family.

I can't wait to hold her. I have had a cold and shouldn't have been there. Lily and parents shouldn't get sick right now.

My son & DIL are going to be great at this. Though I told them the last 52 hours are nothing compared to what comes next.

I have 7, ranging in age from 17 to 1. Important to remember: you can spoil them rotten and send them home.

She deserves her innocence a little while longer...and by the time she needs to know, R. Mueller may have had him replaced with something more suitable, like a bag of Portland cement or a head of lettuce.
