Congrats Mark!
She's a cutie. Enjoy!

Is that a little ginger girl ?

Jim, hard to tell at this early stage. Lucy hasn't had a bath yet because she's been in the special needs nursery until a couple of issues are resolved (her breathing is good now but she won't keep any food down) so she hasn't had a bath yet, which means that she still has a lot of sticky vernix in her hair. That said, to my eyes her hair looks strawberry blonde like her big brother, but we'll have a better idea once we give her a bath soon.

Hopefully in a day or two we can unhook her from the monitor and have her in the room with her mum

Glad to hear everyone is recovering nicely. Did she aspirate meconium?

No, just some of the amniotic fluids on the way out. Babies who are born "naturally" have the beejesus squeezed out of them in the birth process, so their lungs are purged of any gunk, but C-section babies don't go through that stage, so they often end up with lungs full of liquid. She seems to have coughed most of that out today, which is great, so now she just has to nail the feeding side of things.

better hurry up and sneak that LMII into the house before wife and baby come home!

Done! The Markbass is not much bigger than some of my effects pedals, so it's sitting next to my pedal board at the moment. She'll be none the wiser!

Congratulations! I have one 26 month old son and I couldn't imagine having to keep track of another one.

Mark:

We had some anxious moments when my youngest was born - they're tiny, but strong.

Hoping the "special needs" time passes quickly and she's with mum soon!

She sure is beautiful, Mark.

Congrats to you and Lainey and her big brother.
