Meet Elizabeth Lin Morrissey! Update: More pics!
posted at 1:56 pm on January 5, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Our newest member of the family arrived at 11:28 am CT today! Elizabeth Lin Morrissey weighs 7 lbs, 12 ozs, is 19″ long, and is doing very well indeed:
Missy’s a little tired but feeling very well. David says he’s tired too, no doubt from the past week of waiting impatiently for Elizabeth’s arrival. Missy was scheduled to get induced today after being so far overdue, but Elizabeth beat the deadline; Missy went into labor early this morning naturally and delivered quickly. If Elizabeth can meet deadlines like that, she’ll make a natural writer — so I think we’ll call her the Little Scribe.
Here’s Grandpa meeting his second granddaughter for the first time:
I’m going to have much, much more later … and for the next twenty years, too.
Update: More pictures! The First Mate got some grandma time:
Dad (the Mathemagician) finally got his picture taken with Elizabeth:
The Little Admiral meets the Little Scribe for the first time:
And the whole family gets their first picture together:
I’ll put together a slide show soon ….

More importantly – how is the Little Admiral? Adjusting I hope! Remember to give her a little extra attention now – it will pay off later.
Certainly a blessing. Keep everyone close and healthy!

Congrats, Captain!
However, who’s the baby with the glasses in the second pic?
MadisonConservative on January 5, 2009 at 2:19 PM
Andrew Sullivan doesn’t believe this, and calls for maternity ward affidavits, birthing room video, and an exhaustive non-partisan investigation into the true identities of the mother/father/child…
fitzsweetpea on January 5, 2009 at 2:20 PM

Two girls = two weddings…..Oy!

Congratulations!
chsw on January 5, 2009 at 2:24 PM
Of course, Ed, you realize that, if you were instead a Progressive, this would be a burden instead of a blessing.
And our President-elect would have no qualms whatsoever about leaving that little burden to die in a hospital utility closet.
What has America done?
Wally on January 5, 2009 at 2:27 PM

Shy Guy on January 5, 2009 at 2:31 PM

Texas Gal on January 5, 2009 at 2:32 PM
CONGRATS Grandpa and family!
Ed, by the look on your face, you’re either shocked to see anything that cute – or the “Little Scribe” spilled some ink on your hand…

El Coqui on January 5, 2009 at 2:34 PM
Er, what I should have said is….
Two girls (+ 1 wife) = David never taking a hot shower
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on January 5, 2009 at 2:34 PM
Congrats, Ed! Great news.
Tom_Shipley on January 5, 2009 at 2:35 PM
Thanks for sharing your family’s good news and the photos, Captain Ed. Congratulations and best wishes to all, especially that precious bundle, Elizabeth. Like all newcomers to our world, she represents real hope and change.
onlineanalyst on January 5, 2009 at 2:36 PM
Congrats, Captain Ed, and our best wishes to mom, dad, Elizabeth, and the happy grandparents. One question — your first granddaughter is known as “the Little Admiral.” Will Elizabeth be known as “the Little Commodore”?
