EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!!!  ( EVEN though we were scared because of the extra fluid and all the complications they told us were possible  ) All your prayers really did work.

I just returned for a few minutes from the hospital.  My son and his wife  ( Gather member Paula H) just had their darling little girl.  Mom and baby are doing great.  Little girl Hughes weighed 7 pounds, 13 ounces, she was 21 1/2 inches long.  She is so adorable.  I will post pics this evening.
