She's here!!!

After a very long day and night of labor yesterday and this morning, Miss Tessa Elizabeth arrived by emergency C-Section at 11:57am today. We tried to like heck to get her out the usual way, but she was in fetal distress and the Dr's wanted to get her out asap. Thank god she is healthy and safe now.

Believe it or not, her weight is 6 pounds 14 ounces - the exact same as Koen! We couldn't believe it. She is 21.5 inches, one inch longer than Koen.

Tessa is doing fine now, and sleeping like a baby,

The staff at MGH were wonderful. We had two fantastic nurses, Maureen and Joann - so incredibly nice and compassionate.

We are both wiped now from being up for 40 hours. Hopefully we will get some decent sleep tonight.

Photos to follow soon.
