Alice Elizabeth has arrived

My granddaughter arrived yesterday by emergency caesarean. She was 3916g (8lb 10oz) and 54cm. She was a bit bruised from her rough entry into the world. I may be biased but I think she's pretty bloody okay.

Meet Alice Elizabeth.

The brand new family is doing just fine.

She may have been a week or so late but she is most welcome.

The new Nona gets the next lot of biopsy results tomorrow. It's a good news week. I'm not worried.

Not five minutes ago, I read a news article about Australia withdrawing all its troops from Iraq and I thought of you, and how that would be good news for all your military children. And now this! Congratulations!

Awww...you're right, she is beautiful!!!! I'm absolutely thrilled for you.

So very happy to see you posting again, too! I missed reading about your family down under. I tried to comment on your last past, but Blogger sometimes doesn't like me (and I bathe regularly, so I don't know why) and wouldn't LET ME comment. Hmmmph.

Like Chai, when I saw the news that the Aussies were pulling out of Iraq, I did a mental "HURRAH!" Now your military children will be home safe and away from that bad place.

Welcome to the world, Alice Elizabeth!! You are a beautiful baby, and I am sure your parents and your grandparents are pleased as punch to welcome you.
