21 inches long.

born on march 22nd, 2007 at 3:00PM

what's out there?!
what’s out there?!

went into the hospital to be induced on tuesday, march 20th at 5PM but she wasn’t born until march 22nd, at 3PM (you do the math.) yes, it was tough and i met almost the entire maternity ward staff over the 5 or so shift changes at the hospital. i have to say, it was all worth it.

a few more photos in the gallery, and if you’re a flickr member and one of my friends or family, you can see even more there.

    What a cute little Peanut! Her face has a completely different expression in each picture. She’s just a few days old, but, my, what a personality!

    Hope all is going well and that all 3 of you can get some rest. Or not, in case you decide to stare at your marvel all night long… :)

  73. Hammy

    That’s great news and a lovely name. Maybe she required a better inducement, like a tax cut. Did you lose an hour in there for daylight savings or was it the full 46?

    Well done, the two of you. I guess this will become a blog about Peanut and not so much the knitting.

In the picture titled “Hello!” in the gallery she looks just like you. :) Just compare to the “pooped” picture -I guess you both were a little “pooped” after the marathon (wow! and outch!). Again, congratulations and I hope everything goes well with the newborn in the house!
