As I’m sure many of you remember from[this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=603604) my husband and I have been expecting a baby. Well, we are expecting no longer because she has finally arrived! Thursday morning I checked into the hospital and gave birth to the [most beautiful baby girl in the whole world.](http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150413610688497&set=a.10150413610453497.381869.638028496&type=3&theater) I’m still in pain from the c-section but it is very manageable now and in a few hours we are checking out and heading home! I’ll come back and post more detail a little later when it isn’t 4 in the morning but I figured that since I’m up with the baby anyway I might as well check in and let everyone here know that she has arrived and that all three of us are doing just fine. ---

Your link doesn’t work, though I’m sure you’re right about her being “the most beautiful baby girl in the whole world” (IYO — everyone knows the Ottlets were co-owners of the title). But that’s nitpicking. _Sláinte_ and welcome, little one! Wishing you many, many years of driving your parents to distraction. ---

Hey, congrats! We’ll be needing you to correct the picture situation post-haste! And btw, when I had a c-section in 1990, you spent 10 days in the hospital for it! Get off my lawn! ---
