G is for Grandma

And, I now are one!

At 5:25 this morning, I got to meet Grace Elizabeth:

 

8 pounds 11 ounces, 20 inches long. Her eyes are closed here, but she has been staring at everything pretty much from moment one, taking it all in.

 

She has already rolled her eyes at me, too.

 

Her amazing Mommy did it with NO EPIDURAL - they put one in, but it didn't 'take', and they ended up turning it off. She squeezed my hand just a bit:

 

and my sides look about the same, from those moments she grabbed the nearest skin and squeezed. All worth it, though.
