Just a quickie from me as I found out that the OB dept does indeed have wi-fi. Just the facts:
Born 12:47 p.m. via scheduled c-section.
7 pounds and 13 ounces
20 1/2 inches
Girl
We named her Hazel Anne: Hazel after my grandmother who died when my Mom was only three; and Anne is my Mom’s middle name and the name of one of Mr. DD’s favorite aunts who passed away a few years ago.
Here’s a picture. More later. I’m tired and my computer seems to be following suit.

Congratulations! What a lovely name, and what a lovely baby. 🙂
Girls’ clothes are so much fun! 🙂
