Baby Orelia Has Arrived


Our daughter has finally arrived, and we couldn't be happier.

Her name is Orelia Marie and she made quite an entrance into the world on Friday, August 10th, weighing 7 pounds, 4 ounces, and measuring 20.5 inches long.  I promise to write more about the name and the emergency C-section at another time.

We are halfway through our four-day stay at the hospital, trying to learn as much as we can from all the amazingly helpful nurses.  John is taking to fatherhood the way anyone who knows him knew that he would (i.e. he is a natural).

We couldn't love Orelia any more.

  6. Oh, MAN! Sorry about the c-section-- but, coming from someone who has run the gamut on "how to give birth" -- a c-section ain't so bad! Welcome to the world, sweet baby girl!
