Does she have her father's eyes?
And if so, did she devour them right after she tore them out or is she still just playing with them?

Bilbo: Right now she has her grandmother's eyes, but that could easily change over the first few weeks (we keep all the eyes in the same place, so she can just grab and munch whichever she wants).
Everyone else, thanks for the congrats! Here's the low-down:
She was 9 lbs, 3 oz.  20.5 inches, lots of dark hair, 10 fingers/toes....and beautiful!
I'd been having contractions all day, but they weren't really close together. I went to the hospital and they checked me for a couple hours, but I didn't change from 3 cm, so they sent me home saying "come back for your scheduled induction appointment tomorrow".
Y'know those TV shows and movies where the hospital sends the patient home and something awful happens? Yup......
The INSTANT I got out of the car at my house, we're talking massively painful contractions, suddenly every 2 or 3 minutes. Any mother in the Lexxverse knows that means baby's coming pronto! I waited an hour because the doc had said to do so when they got that close together, but then we rushed back to the hospital so I could get ready and have the epidural I'd told them I wanted. In that single hour, I'd gotten another 4 cm (up to 7 now) and 80% effaced. They called the anesthesiologist for the epidural, but it would take 20 minutes for them to get to my room. In those 20 minutes, I got up to 10 cm and 100% effaced.
I can't find the words for how terrified I felt when the nurse said "You're not getting that epidural, you're having this baby right now."
The doctor himself just barely got there in time to play catch! He rushed in all out of breath, joking (I hope) that he had been in the middle of getting his back worked on. I said "Doc, I love you, but F**K your back!!" He laughed and got ready.
Only about 15 minutes of the most painful pushing of my life later and she let out a big strong cry.
From 2nd hospital arrival to birth was in total about 90 minutes. So much for the textbooks that say second children usually take around 8 hours of labor.
Could someone remind me of the best way to post pics here? I've forgotten how to do it.....
Squish and family

Boy howdy, you ain't kidding. That's got "three act sitcom episode" written all over it! Off the top of my head it seems like all you're missing is:
*Water breaks at some thoroughly inconvenient social event (middle of a roller rink, courtside at game seven of the NBA finals with two minutes left in overtime, negotiating the business deal of a lifetime with visiting Japanese dignitaries at some banquet for your tightwad boss, etc)
*Some well-meaning nurse takes your hand all reassuring like, and on the next Howitzer-grade contraction you crush her fingers to a fine powder.
*Turning to your saucer-eyed other half and loosing a thousand decibel "YOU DID THIS TO ME YOU BASTARD!" in your best THERE IS NO DANA, THERE IS ONLY ZUUL voice.
Ten fingers for toes, you say? AWESOME, prehensile feet! (*REASSURES HIMSELF THAT SQUISH CAN'T HURL A COFFEE CUP 1,500 MILES...PROBABLY*)
Can't wait to see the pics. Now then...how much would a custom made Cluster Lizard onesie cost? Because I think I speak for the whole 'verse when I say that would be worth taking up a collection to see!

I was 9lb 15 oz. (No wonder my mom kept calling me a 10 lb hemorrhoid!) Glad to finally have some company in the Baby-zilla club! I officially name Vyla Autumn Lex as Vice President!
