Welcome Lila Rose Torchia!

Lila Rose Torchia was born at 9:27pm. She arrived with dark hair and dark eyes. The meaning of the name is "dark haired beauty." She weighs 5 lbs 13 oz, no length was taken. It seemed like things were progressing really slow then all of a sudden Emily was ready to push and she only really pushed for 5 minutes and Lila was here. Her apgar score was 5 in the first minute and then was changed to 9 (for those who are familar with this measure)

At first when Lila was born she wasn't fully breathing and her color was very poor, but soon after her color improved and she began to cry. Emily and Tom got to hold her for a few brief minutes and then she was taken down to the NICU. She is going to be transferred to Children's hospital and may undergo surgery a few hours from now.

Emily is doing well and most likely will be released tomorrow. Tom is going to go with Lila to Children's.

All things considered a successful delivery...hopefully the upcoming surgery will go as well.
