I guess I’m “Mr. tlw” - this is Davis, Tracey’s husband. She asked me to share the following info: Danielle Moira Lewis-Wick Born: 9:19 p.m. on Thursday, June 19, 2002 7lbs. 4oz. and 20" long Both Tracey and Danielle are doing great. They’ve just drifted off to sleep, curled up together in the bed. Tracey’s mom and sister arrived about six minutes before Danielle was born, and were able to give Tracey the encouragement that she needed in those last minutes of pushing. Verna, Tracey’s mom, says that Danielle looks just like her mommy did when she was born. Lots of shiny, curly black hair and big, bright eyes. Danielle Moira is named after her cousin Danielle, who died (15 mos. old) in the Oklahoma City bombing, and NYPD officer Moira Smith, who died at the World Trade Center on September 11. We are pleased that we can honor their memories and hope that some of their spirits will live on in our beautiful daughter. Tracey says that she’ll be back with you as soon as she gets used to her new schedule, because she is addicted to the Straight Dope. And we would both like to thank the SDMB members who kept our family in their thoughts and prayers today. It was really a perfect day. ---
