Marty not only called the date, but the gender -- and we are thrilled to have a girl!! Even my grandsons wanted a girl cousin:-)). We spent all day sitting around while Jessica, Tommy, and the doctor all took naps - and Marty and I finally went out for his b.d. dinner to a lovely French restaurant a couple of blocks from the hospital. Emma was finally born at 8:55 tonight; she waited till we got back from dinner. 7 lbs - 2 weeks early. Yikes!Here, she is an hour or two old and hasn't even been weighed yet. Of course, you can see how beautiful and intelligent she is - LOL. And she stopped crying the minute she came into my arms.
Thanks for all your messages and good wishes!!

Félicitations pour cette belle petite fille.
congratulations to all--what a cutie! Love the name (that picture of her eyeing your tie-dyed shirt indicates an early and fine appreciation for fiber art and dyework! Oh, maybe she is looking at Grandma and that fiber gene doesn't come out until later on).
