3 lbs, 4 ounces, (that's 0.232 stones to you weird stoners), 15 3/4" long. Shares a birthday with her grandpa, and her birth time (5:55 pm) with her 18th month old brother. Due date was Feb 1st but she was induced early due to preeclampsia. Breathing on her own so far and just on an IV drip.-- RayfordSteele, Dec 21 2013 Mostly just a name that I liked from a book... http://en.wikipedia...wiki/Rayford_Steele [RayfordSteele, Dec 24 2013] Congrats to the family.

First shower for her in days.-- RayfordSteele, Dec 21 2013 A big halfbakery hug for mom and baby. And you too dad!-- blissmiss, Dec 22 2013 I have to admit that the name "Sarah Mae Steele" has a rather satisfying and auspicious ring to it. God bless her!-- jurist, Dec 22 2013 Yay! Congratulations!-- nineteenthly, Dec 22 2013 [+]-- pertinax, Dec 23 2013 Blessings! xox-- xandram, Dec 23 2013 Handling money? Give me a break. 'Sarah Mae Steele' is the name of the daughter of a hard-bitten and unorthodox private investigator who plays by his own rules and survives on his wits. She herself is also a hard-bitten and unorthodox private investigator who plays by her own rules, but in ways that her father only grudgingly approves of because she produces results. Of course, Sarah Mae does have a softer side, a heart of gold that she hides away from everyone, most of all herself, until the day she rescues an adorable street orphan who's being hunted by the Mob...-- Alterother, Dec 23 2013 Am resisting joining in the narrative out of an irrational fear of halfbakarian determinatism.-- calum, Dec 23 2013 //she rescues an adorable street orphan who's being hunted by the Mob
I did that once, and heck, let me tell you, it's best to examine the "orphan" for stitch marks around the neck, being 8 feet tall and that kind of stuff first.
I give one bun for you renaming her to "Sarah Mae Halfbakery Steele".-- not_morrison_rm, Dec 23 2013 They named me Rayford because Remington was taken...
Actually, for the origins of the name, see the link.-- RayfordSteele, Dec 24 2013 And the lively sparks from RayfordSteele just keep coming, joyful.-- wjt, Dec 24 2013 How is Sarah Mae doing?-- MaxwellBuchanan, Dec 26 2013 : ]
