Lily joins the family

A baby's been developing for some 8 months in my cousin's belly. And now she's alive and well outside the belly. 

Little Lily has nails. She has a belly button. And, as my mom loved to point out, Lily can scream!

She was born at 9:55pm last night at Grady hospital, 6 pounds 11 ounces. Here are some pictures from the saga.

In the waiting room, the dad-to-be, my cousin’s husband, is on the right. And my dad, the great-uncle-to-be, on the left:

 

Proof that we waited for a while, I had time to take a picture of the waiting room door sign: 

The phone switches hands. But the waiting game remains: 

And the ironic warning, telling visitors not to take the magazines from an already empty magazine rack: 

This is the infant warmer table before the baby was born: 

About 30 minutes after the news that the baby was delivered, great-uncle and I got to visit. Dad tries to get her to cry for grandma through the phone: 

 Lily, up close with the cutest hat ever:  

Up close with dad touching her arm:

That's it for now :) I'll try to get back over to the hospital later today for a quick hello.
