Welcome, Lilly!

Lillian Mary Skosky (aka Lilly) arrived on Thursday, August 23, at 8:07 AM, CDT at Mercy Hospital. Lilly weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces and was 20" long.  Both Lilly and Leah are doing fine.

Here is Lilly in the nursery shortly after coming into this world.  She is still being monitored and checked to make sure everything is working properly.  There is only a 90 minute warranty on newborns so you have to check to make sure all the parts are there.

As you can see, Lilly has a tremendous head of dark hair. This certainly takes after the father, Andy, as Leah has no black hair in her family.

After a series of tests the nurses deemed her "good to go", so they wrapped her tightly in a swaddling blanket and put on a cap.  Lilly really liked this since I'm sure it reminded her of the tight confines of the womb.  She immediately relaxed and rested peacefully.
