There was some excitement, but nothing like the first one. She was born before I got there and that suited Mama Turtle and Daddy WowGuy just fine. They are both uber-private people - Dancer says anti-social, but whatever - and to have the baby with only the doctor, a couple of nurses, and the anesthesiologist (spelling? don't care enough to check) in the room was pretty much heaven for them. One big push once the time came and it was done. Baby here. I walked in the room moments after they handed new baby to Mama.
Since one of the names they thought about - although they ultimately named her something else - was Penelope, and since several good things have already happened since her birth, I think she will be Lucky Penny here - Lucky for short.
So here she is - Lucky Penny:
UPDATE: there are no pictures, but there is, on a phone somewhere, a video of the first meeting of Duchess and Lucky. Big sister, is ENTHRALLED in a good way, with her new baby. She met me at the door last night, top volume, "The baby is HERE! The baby Lucky is here!" (Although she called her by her proper name, not "Lucky". That's just here, for me.) It was reported, and I saw for myself, that Duchess is rather unwilling to share new baby Lucky with anyone else. It's always her turn to hold the baby (on a pillow in her lap, as her hands forget that they are supposed to be holding a baby). Just precious!
Hopefully, video (or pictures) soon.
