We left the hospital room to go to Labor and Delivery at 3:00pm. By 3:45, Liz had the spinal done and was being wheeled in to the OR. I went in shortly after, and they had already started the C-section. Lily was born at 4:25. They quickly showed Liz and I the baby, then took her to the other side of the room to clean her off and measure her height and weight. Despite the fact that the amnio on Monday said the lungs weren't quite ready, she breathed on her own quite well. She's only really cried once since birth, and makes a purring noise--due to the little of amniotic fluid still in her lungs. She ate almost immediately and looks to be in pretty good health. THANK GOD! We've been praying for months that she only be healthy, and our prayers where answered! I've added more pictures and some movies below. Liz is doing well, but will be in the hospital probably until Tuesday. I've already gotten a couple of shots of the grandparents, and the other set of grandparents will be here on Monday--so expect many, many more pictures! She's not even a day old, and we're so proud of her already!
