Lily was born last night at 11:01pm. She actually came on her due date which one of the nurses here said only happens about 5% of the time. She weighed 8 lbs 3 oz and is 20.5 inches long. She has the most dark hair I have ever seen on a baby.
It is amazing how love at first sight works. There are times where it still doesn't feel real that I have an outside baby, but when she is here with me everything just seems so natural. Right now she is sleeping because I guess she was up most of the night in the nursery. We were hoping to keep her in our room, but we were both exhausted so we asked them to take her to the nursery for a little bit. We still didn't get much rest though because people kept coming in all night to check on me and give me updates about tests they have done on her.
She adores her daddy and quiets down soon after he picks her up. I love getting to see him with her. As much as I love hold her and cuddling, there are times where I am just as content, if not more, just watching him with her. He did great with me during the delivery as well and I don't know if I would have been able to do it without him. I will post more about the birth story, as well as pictures, a little bit later. Right now I am going to try to get some sleep as well since she is being so quiet.

Congratulations from her "great Aunt Perky" and great Uncle David.
