Maura Anne Has Arrived
I am happy to say that little Maura Anne Condon arrived last night at 10:20pm...via emergency c-section.....she had a problem with the cord, so the csection was the way to go....she weighed in at 7# 1oz, 20" long.....she looks just like her Dad, even with the reddish hair....my daughter looked great this morning...little Maura was breast fed 3x last night...she seems like she knows the program well! This makes #6 for me, 5 grandaughters, 1 grandson....life doesn't get any better than this!
