They were able to hold her a bit right after..Now she is in the preemie nursery but doing great. Matt says she is a keeper. He is very enamoured. Megan is feeling much better...Still on magnesium till tonight. Probably ok for visitors tomorrow at the earliest.
Matt said that Mary and Connie sat in the room during the birth clutching the wish beads, and that the nurses were curious.

While I was on the phone with Matt, her name became official. He was saying - we think it is Edythe, but we haven't made it official - so for now her name is Precious Cakes - that is what the nurses are calling her...then I heard Megan in the background - "Make it official, for the record her name is Edythe Estelle Maxine Dean."

I can't wait to meet her - even if it is through a glass window.
Here is the picture Matthew sent from his cell phone:
