Cecily was born at home on Thursday, Oct 18, 2007.
She weighed 7lbs and was 20.25" long.
Long fingers and feet, she scored 9 & 10 on her APGARS and all is well.
As of 24 hours later she has successfully fed a few times, filled a few diapers, let us sleep, and kept everyone smiling with her little whimper that sounds like "uh-huh" (which is the same sound she made when she initially came out).

Cecily has all but established a feeding schedule that she's reliably continued now for almost 48 hours. She is very alert and has already spent time on her froggy pond (see pictures) on her tummy. She's strong, lifts her head well, and watches your movements.
Her new favorite sleeping position during the night is either on Angie's or Russ's chest, on her tummy or side.
She continues to keep a hand up on her forehead, just like Daddy, when sleeping on her back, and when on her side or tummy, she generally sleeps either on an arm or hand.
Lily is truly such a peaceful and content baby. She patiently waits for Angie to prepare to feed her (which can still be quite an ordeal because getting in/out of bed or sitting is still quite painful), is happy being held or left on the bed to stretch and wiggle, and she has already regained her birth weight.
