Lyla Rose is Here!

Cousin Brother Two Names has just sent this message:

"Lyla Rose was born at 5:02am. 7lbs 2oz."

The Great Plotnik hopes you didn't read this sentence as he did: a 71 lb. baby?

She might have been, because Poor Cuz Two was in labor for close to 36 hours, if Plotnik understands the stories correctly, and Lyla Rose is gonna hear about it a lot over the course of the next 50 years. It's so nice to have her finally arrive safely, and well done Cuz Two!

The Great Plotnik and The Great Ducknik will open a very special bottle of Zinfandel this evening and drink to Lyla Rose, Cuz Two and Cuz EG, and to all the rest of the Greenbergs and Garzas. Special thanks to The Great Plotnik's stringer on-the-scene, The Great Little Bearnik, who reported directly and exclusively (almost) to the Late Evening News Desk at GPWHQ.

Now all we need is a picture. We just googled Lyla Rose. Nothing yet. But she's only four hours old.

Very cool - much better than another three weeks of waiting. 36 hour labor though is a bit much.

But welcome to the 71 lb Lyla!

She is beautiful, smells fantastic, gets the hiccups (hippos in spanish) a lot, and likes liking her blanket. Her eyes are gorgeous, and she was really engaged for the two hours I was able to visit! I'll put some pics up on facebook soon (feel free to steal them), and Mike took a bunch too! There will be many more to come... I just feel lucky I got to meet her before leaving for China!
