Gemma Veronica was born at 5:02 pm and weighted in a 5 pounds 8 ounces and is 17 inches long. She is doing GREAT! She has been moved into the room with Mama, is nursing well, and her temperature and blood sugar are holding steady.
Mama is doing better - still sore, still on mag sulfate, still not allowed out of bed (much to her frustration). BP is looking good and we can't wait to see what it looks like without the meds.
Mama esspecially wants me to thank all of you for your wonderful comments and prayers. This has been hard on all of us and your wonderful words of encouragement and your prayers have gotten us through. We had a periord that that was pretty scary - the scariest I (Daddy) have had yet with our 6 children - and yet there was no panic. We all just took a deep breath, knew what we had to do, and just somehow knew it was going to be OK. There was more than a couple guardian angels holding that baby up to keep the life flowing to her so to all those who lent their guardian angels for a while - with all my heart, thank you.
