I got a call this morning that our BMom was in labor and I managed to get on a plane 2 hours later. I got here in time to give our sweet girl her first feeding. She is nursing like a champ. My meager little drops seem to be enough for her at this point. She nurses and nurses and I can still hand express some milk afterward.

She was born at 11:31A--10 days early. 5 lbs. even, 18 inches.

We have named her Ivy.
