She's Here!

Baby Girl Gallagher was born last night at 10:46 after 4 hours of labor. I'm not pregnant anymore!!! The Baby Girl is healthy and I am feeling great in spite of the two hours of sleep I got last night. I was so excited that I lay awake going over every detail of the delivery in my mind over and over.

I still can't believe we had a girl! We all thought it was going to be a boy except Lovely. She kept telling everyone she was having a girl baby sister and not a brother. Smart little thing!

Thank you so much for all the well wishes. Stranger did a good job keeping everyone updated, didn't he? I will post all the details later and maybe we'll even get some photos up later today. How cool is a hospital with high speed?

At May 16, 2008, Cocoa said...: YEEHAW!!! We love girls around here too! So glad it all went well. I hope baby and mommy continue to be healthy and happy. I'm not surprised about Lovely knowing what it was. I've found that polling preschool aged children on what my baby was going to be was always accurate!

I guess Stranger has to take the boy clothes back now and deal with the sticker shock on those cutsie girly outfits. Girl clothes *are* so cute!
