Hooray!
Well, apparently at around 4:30 this morning, Jess and Chris became parents! Yay! Veronica Isabel Cannon (I'm guessing at the spelling, and hoping I heard Jess right, the cell connection wasn't great!) took her own sweet time coming into the world - Jess was in labour for roughly 24 hours. Yuck. But still. Baby! Yay!
Mom and baby are staying in the hospital until Wednesday. I spoke to Jess this morning and she sounded wiped. But excited. I knew she was being induced this weekend, but I didn't want to call for an update, in case they were sleeping the sleep of the exhausted new parents. The fact that we hadn't heard anything was making me a little nervous, but I figured... updating me is pretty low priority.
7 pounds, 15 ounces and 21.5 inches. I'm told this is about average - she wasn't that big a baby. So now, I need to buy every cute baby thing ever. So what if she's not even a day old, she needs little tiny jeans! (I'm joking, I'm joking. I'll wait at least a week on the jeans.) I know, I know, it's a sickness. Just wait until I become an aunt in September! Maybe Jess and Chris will let me be an honorary aunt, so I can get some practice in.
I'm so excited!
