8lb 12oz, 20 inches, born at 4:38 am on July 9.
Lucia means light (we use the Spanish pronunciation, loo-SEE-uh). In Italy, the name Lucia was traditionally given to baby girls born at daybreak. Our Lucia was born about an hour before sunrise.
Dorotea is an Italian/Spanish form of Dorothy, which means "gift of God" and honors women from both of our families: Adam's paternal grandmother and two aunts on Sarah's maternal side. It is pronounced dor-oh-TAY-uh.
Beautiful girl! Beautiful name! (Thank you for the pronunciation key. I wasn't sure.) :)
