36(weeks, 6 days) is the new 40

I had a baby!

Not one to be tardy for the party, someone decided to make her grand entrance a little early.

I had a baby!

L@el Gift was born this morning at 4:43am, weighing 6 pounds, 6 ounces, and measuring 17.5 inches long.

Father/daughter

More information and pictures to come when I’m not absolutely exhausted. So, in 10 years?

    (Wombat is pointing at her saying “Laylo! Laylo!” so perhaps she has her first post-utero nickname already?)

  28. saramcg says:

    Congratulations and I love the name. I also couldn’t agree more that 36weeks and 6days is the new 40. That is when George decided to make his arrival!

  29. Jen says:

    36(and some change)-weekers are the best! (My son was born at 37 1/2 weeks.) Your baby is fully cooked AND you don’t have to go through the last few weeks of pregnancy, which I hear are The Worst, in terms of discomfort. Now you just get to enjoy your new little babeh.

    Congrats! She is a beauty, and her name is so very lovely.

  30. Emily says:

    As her completely unbiased Gmoms/Glamma – I still haven’t figured out what I want to be called – she is a beautiful little baby. Her father and I left today after hanging out for a few days and I MISS HER SO MUCH!

    As an aside… I am very proud of Sarah and Chris. They are already terrific parents. Supportive, loving, in love with their baby of course… Team Wal$h, you rock!
