What happened was Heather stalled at 7 cm even with Pitocin and when the baby seemed to be a little uncomfortable (heart rate dipping periodically) the decision was made to use C-section.
Within an hour Lucia was delivered. They noticed she had a little difficulty screaming/breathing so they took her to the ICU to help her out. She is going to stay there for a few more days while they do some tests.
As you can see from the pictures the doctors habitual poking of tubes in all openings applies to Lucia as well.

I believe Heather and Lucia have earned a well-deserved nap.

Congratulations, she looks very healthy! I picked Annika up from school and told her that the Baby had arrived. She said, "That's a problem." I asked her why and she said, "Because now they have to take care of her!"
Lots of love,
