Meet Egg!!

Our days are a bit scrambled since her arrival, but it'll be sunny side up soon enough!! (She chooses to sleep during the day and be awake during the night...) She's of course beautiful and the best baby ever!!!

Here she is - freshly hatched:



She was born on September 30th at 9.35 p.m., 11 hours after getting induced. I reacted very well to the Cervidil, had contractions early (after an hour they started, which is very rare) and it took 1.5 hours of pushing to get her out.

She's 50 cm (20") tall, and weighed 3,635 grams (almost exactly 8 pounds) at birth.

Sie ist wunderhübsch. Zum Anbeissen!
Ist alles gut gegangen? Bist du schon wieder zuhause? Sprichst du Deutsch mit ihr?
Hoffentlich werde ich sie bald mal persönlich sehen!

Herzlich Willkommen kleine Nichte!
Ich hoffe, dass du bald die vielen neuen Eindrücke so verarbeiten kannst, dass du den Tag-Nacht-Rhythmus deiner Eltern mit machst.
Zieh dem Papa nicht so oft an den Haaren! ;-))
Liebe Grüße an die stolzen, übernächtigten Eltern.
