Introducing Laura Lynn B.

Well, Baby B arrived today (3/30/09) and surprised Mom and I. The entire pregnancy we thought Baby B was a boy, but in fact Baby B is a beautiful girl! Laura Lynn arrived safe and sound at 3:36pm. She weighed 7lbs 13oz with a length of 20inches. I will post more in the next few days about the prelabor and active labor.

I really have to stress that Mom was a true champion. She did her best to have a vaginal birth and pushed for over 2 hours, but Laura was stubborn and wished to stay inside (sounds like she is taking after her father.) After 2+ hours in active labor, the surgeon came in and suggested we go the C-section route...without hesitation, we did!

Mom, Laura and I will be released from the hospital on Thursday. We encourage people to stop by and see Mom and Laura. If you decide to, please call before heading out.

I can't believe Mike had the strength or energy to post the announcement and photos last night!
Both Mom and Dad looked happy, relieved and oh, so tired when we visited yesterday. The photos can't do her justice... she is indeed a beautiful baby and a new ray of sunshine for the world! Congrats, Bauer family - we love you all!
Love,
Grandma Barb and Grandpa Glenn
