Bacon Bit's Secret Identity Revealed!!!

After 2 hours of pushing, Morella Adelaide entered the world at 2:43 am on Friday, November 23. For those of you betting at home, she was a little critter at 6 pounds 14 ounces, and 18.5 inches long. DW blames my side of the family for being little. She's doing really well. Her apgar scores were 8 and 9. The delay in posting was because the DW's placenta was being stubborn and wouldn't come out. DW needed a little help from the docs to get it out, which left me on baby duty for a bit. She has the cutest dimple on her left cheek, and she's got a crazy amount of light-colored hair.

I think this will end my guest blogging, but I'll leave you with a teaser photo:

Hooray hooray hooray! Congrats! We are so happy for all three of you.

I have to say, the baby looks like she's pondering her "defeat" in the picture.

Morella thinks "Dang it! I wasn't ready to come out yet! It's too cold out here."

Anyway, she's a pretty girl with an equally pretty name. Congrats again!
