A New Princess Has Arrived

Welcome Gracie Mae Simons
Our new princess has arrived, a bit early, but you cannot imagine how happy we are. Gracie Mae was born today at 5:23 am. She is 3 lbs. 6 oz, 15 inches long. She came into the world kicking and screaming =). Kim's doctor, Dr. Oliveira and her partner Dr. Newman performed an emergency c-section this morning after Kim began to bleed. Gracie was taken to the nursery where she was attended to by several doctors. She is getting help from a ventilator to breath, which is normal for a "30 weeker". The doctors think everything else looks good. She sure looks good to me. She held my finger for a few seconds when I first saw her. She is beautiful. She was taken to Oakland children's hospital where they have a bigger Intensive Care Nursery than Valley Care Hospital where she was born. I will be going to see her today and will take some pictures of the new princess. How lucky am I?? I can't even begin to explain!
