Our daughter finally (a week late) gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, as yet unnamed. A sister to Alexandra. She weighed in at a whopping 9lb 15oz and mother and baby are both fine. ---

Congratulations. I’ve always thought it would be nicer to have a girl than a boy. They’re less likely to murder you in your sleep when they’re a teenager. ---

Thanks for all the well-wishes. Daughter elected to stay in hospital overnight (there was, as you might expect, some embroidery) so will be introducing baby to her big sister about now. ---

Daughter rather than granddaughter, but the Elder Ottlet accomplished the finger-wrapping before she was born. We were following along with the ultrasound when a teenytiny hand swam into view β€” and waved. Deed done. (What little resistance I had left dissolved when they gave her to me to hold while they got her mom squared away. I leaned back with her on my chest; she curled up in a ball, gave a sigh bigger than she was, and fell asleep.) (And apologies for the semi-hijack, but threads like this do bring back memories.) ---
