Lillian Estelle (Lily) was born at 6:22 pm.
I do not have a weight or length on her yet, as my DIL took her straight to the breast and the doctors have not taken those stats.
Mother and daughter are well.
Length of labor/delivery (after receiving induction meds): 52+ hours.

Glad to hear both are well. If she turns out to be stubborn, you were forewarned.

(25,292 posts)Is this your first grandchild? Wait till the first time you hold her. Instant love.
Please keep us updated on Lily. I would like to hear about her as she grows up.

I can't wait to hold her. I have had a cold and shouldn't have been there. Lily and parents shouldn't get sick right now.
My son & DIL are going to be great at this. Though I told them the last 52 hours are nothing compared to what comes next.
