Suzie, it makes the world a whole new place, I can say that much.
Dreamer, Rose, Em, Joyce, jpmoore, moon child, Gab, Keltic, thanks for the wishes, I'll send them on to Ange and Coira. Ange knows I have a multitude of friends on here pulling for her and sending her whishes of health and hapiness. Coira certainly will know of this 'family', dreamer. She will grow surounded with the music and tales of our people, as well as take on some of my own passions (anyone notice her name is CAR? that really was a fluke).
Mike, no, she's the latest of many, on both sides. The fourth grandbaby on Anges side, and the seventh on mine. But a gem all the same.

You have been so blessed OR!! She is very beautiful!! I wish you all the best (and as much sleep as you can get!!!)
(Your pictures almost make me want another one!! And then one of my kids punches the other, or one breaks a window, or kicks me in the shin and I realize why I stopped at two!!LOL)
Tell Ange I hope she has a speedy recovery!! (I also had a C-section. Two in fact and then a hysterectamy so I know what she's feeling!) I hope she's not in too much pain and that she's up and around very soon!! You have a very wonderful family!! Take care!

Oh MAN, somebody hand me some tissues - I've got to dry these tears.
Those pictures are the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time. Somehow a new wee one just stops you in the midst of all your worries, all your concerns and makes you realize that yeah bub God is still in the miracle business. Wow!! Beautiful mama too. And daddy, ah that little babe has you wrapped around a pinkie already!
Congratulations to the max!

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king..."
ok, go ahead. Better you than me, at this point. I don't think the guys in the shop would ever let me hear the end of it if I came downstairs with puffy red eyes and a runny nose.
Thanks to you both. This is the best gift I've ever been given, and I know I can't give Ange and I all the credit.
I can tell right now that when her first date comes to pick her up, you're gonna be at home, cleaning a gun just to scare the daylights outta the kid !

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU OLD RAVEN AND ANGE!
That is one VERY beautiful little girl. C-section babies are so pretty...they got that nice round head! Both of mine were c-sections.
At least she doesn't have another little one at home to go running into her with a big hug and busting stitches! When I came home with my 2nd son, my first one slammed his head right into my tummy with a big hug because he missed me so much! Busted 3 stitches...wasn't fun! So, if she's got little nieces and nephews running around, tell her to beware of their heads!
They'll be in the hospital until at least tomorrow night, because of the C-section.
IS, thank you very much. We don't have little ones around, but our three year old German Shepherd is going to be a handful when she sees Mum again, after so long.
The girls are doing great. Ange took a walk around the ward with me last night, baby in tow. Coira is feeding well now. She started crying a little more, which is good. She was surprisingly quiet the first couple of days. But all is well now, and hopefully, I'll be able to take the two of them home with me tonight.
I'm dreading Ange coming home, though. The house is a disaster.

That's what grand parents are for, getting things in order! Congrats, your daughter is beautiful!
