You think she’s got it bad? I was 11 lbs 7 oz…and 3 weeks late! But mom still likes me. 🙂 Best of luck! ---

Everyone just stop fretting. I’m home to shower and change, then to the office for a bit to check in, then back to the hospital. Gwendolyn Rose Chance was born yesterday at 4:07PM. 7 pounds 10 ounces (still a good sized kid) and 18.25 inches. She’s a darling. I may just start calling her ‘Sparky’. ---

Congrats to the Chance family! Looks like they were a little off on the nine-pound prediction though, huh? That seems to happen a lot, from what I’ve heard. I really wish doctors wouldn’t do that and make the parents fret … Glad to hear everyone’s doing fine! ---
