79 hours and 49 minutes later...

Miss Lydia was definitely in no hurry to see the world and meet Mom and Dad.  After many attempts to induce labor and achieve progress, we finally turned a corner on Saturday morning.  Things were progressing, I got an epidural, slept through most of the night and at 3:00am it was go time.  Lydia arrived at 3:49am.  Night Owl or Early Bird?  Only time will tell.  She weighs 5 lbs 15 oz and is 20.25 inches long.  She has a head full of brown hair that might be kind of curly.  Lydia has the sweetest little feet and long fingers.  Piano Player?     

The doctors are checking her over very closely and running all sorts of tests so that they are very prepared for her needs.  We'll know more Tuesday when the team of cardiologists meet to discuss her heart defect.  In the meantime, we're just enjoying our baby girl!
