Every Thursday, here at Like Mother, Like Daughter!
Mary Antonia is here!
Born in the wee hours of the morning on Friday, August 16.
8 lbs, 20 in.
She actually made a little bit of a dramatic entrance: according to the hospital records, she arrived nine minutes after we walked (/hobbled) through the door.
(cliffhanger…)
He's barefoot. In the hospital room. Playing with the lever on the trash can. But hey, he's being entertained, right?
Let's take a picture.

Ohhh, such a precious baby, I can't decide whether my favorite photo is Pippo holding his baby sister or your {funny} shot. I agree that it's pretty easy to see Pippo in Mary Antonia's sweet face – it's the intelligent eyes, I think.
God Bless you all,
monica

Congratulations! She is a very beautiful little girl, I love her sweet blond fuzz! Nothing like waiting till the very last minute to walk into the hospital to help assure that you have a natural birth with no unneeded interventions done! Congratulations again, try to get plenty of rest!
Joy says
Precious girl. Congratulations to you all.
Rebecca says
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. She is SO PRECIOUS! I love that little pucker and those bright eyes- my babies always seem so squinty for at least a week or two. (And isn't that lovely baby that much more lovely on a perfectly suited for her, made with love blankie? Yes, I think so.
Congratulations to you all! Mama, you look beautiful. (Not a big shocker, though.)
As a mother to a 7 minutes after reaching the hospital, 10 pounds, 11 ounces boy….. I feel your pain, Rosie (and absolute gratefulness for not having a highway delivery). God is so good.

Congratulations!!!
akasleen says
Nine minutes?!?!?! That is incredible. And scary. And..and..I bet lots of 'Hail Marys' were prayed along the route.
Wow. She is beautiful! So happy for all of you, and esp. Pippo because there is nothing like a baby sibling!!!
Melanie says
So beautiful and happy! Congratulations!!

kimberlee says
Congratulations to all of you! Deo Gratias! Such a beautiful name for such a lovely, beautiful girl. Pippo looks like a professional big brother already. Enjoy your babymoon!
Jenny says
Congratulations! I love those little round baby mouths. Mine only seem to make that face for a couple of weeks and it's one of my favorite things about newborns.
Can't wait to hear the rest of the cliffhanger. Were you trying to wait or was it precipitous labor? All of my births have been precipitous so I know how scary that can be the first time it happens.
Amy Caroline says
Oh my goodness! So much love and adorableness. So happy for you and I simply love her name. Mary and Anthony? She is set! Congratulations!

Congratulations! Look at that nice round head. My daughter had a nice round head like that when she was born. Yeah, quick delivery with that one too. Ow! Your pic of big brother greeting little sister made me tear up…enjoy!

What a precious little girl! Congratulations! The picture of Pippo without shoes is awesome.
Your labor sounds exciting…mine was similar, except the midwife was coming to me so I didn't have to worry about giving birth in the car!
