It’s a Girl! - 25 November 2005
Hi Everyone,
As you know if you read my last email, I traveled on Monday from the UAE to SC for the birth of my sixth grandchild and to help out my daughter with the baby and three older children for the first three weeks of her recovery from her fourth C-section. I arrived safely on Monday Evening and the next morning the baby was born.
Marcia Nell Little was born at 9:47 AM on Tuesday 22 November 2005, weighing in at 7 pounds 14 ounces and measuring 20 inches in length. Mother and baby are doing well. [Marcia is pronounced "MAR-sha" and represents the first three letters of Nell's paternal grandmother's name and the last three letters of my (her maternal grandmother's) name. The baby is called Nell.]
Nell was welcomed into the world by her mother (delighted to have a daughter after six straight years of little boys), her father who claims that with two girls in the house everything will be pink, her 9-year-old sister who will not have to move out of the house as she had threatened to do if the baby had been a boy(!), her six-year-old brother who is proud to be the big brother of both a brother and a sister, and her four-year-old brother who is so excited to finally be a big brother that he has been making up and singing loving songs to "Baby Sister." I have to confess I, too, was hoping for the baby to be a girl and am proud and delighted to have such a beautiful new granddaughter.
As soon as I learn the URL for the website where a photo of Nell will be posted, I'll let you know in case you're interested in seeing what she looks like.
Thanks for reading all this proud grandmother stuff!
Pat
