Wait is over. Charlotte Lucia arrived late last night.

[trof]

My granddaughter.
8 lbs., 9 oz.
Big ol' girl.
10 fingers and the same number of toes.
A THATCH of dark brown hair.
Even has eyebrows.

According to a reliable source: "Two pushes and she popped out like a watermelon seed."

Mother and daughter doing well.
Home by Friday?

So far, Jack thinks having a little sister is 'cool'.
"Can I take her to Show & Tell?"
Maybe next week, Jack.

23. Thanks for all the good wishes.

She was a bit scruffy looking this morning.

By this afternoon she'd had a shampoo and set, a facial, and a manicure.
She's gorgeous.
And HUNGRY!
After trying different feeding positions, she settled for the 'football-under-the-arm' as most efficient and comfortable.
As she makes piglet noises, my daughter is thankfully relaxing with a Martini and a cigarette.
:evilgrin:
Just kidding.

'Charlotte' came from I-don't-know-where, but Lucia was my great aunt and a surrogate grandma for my daughter.

They come home on Friday.
Is 5 years old too young to teach someone to change a diaper?
