We’re so happy to introduce Evelyn Rose to everyone. I’ll let Katie write about the whole (very long) labor and delivery. I was there the entire time helping out and cheerleading, but I think only she can give the full account of the entire 37-hour process.
Evelyn came out pink and squalling—really, for a newborn she has a set of pipes and uses them to cry very loudly. She’s strong too. She grips my index finger like a champ. I think she might grow up to be some kind of singing weightlifter (wouldn’t you pay money to see something like that?). She and Katie, who, by the way, is sore but fine, will probably come home from the hospital today. I’m going to take the week off from work to spend some time with them both. We would love to hear from people via email or phone and will try to answer both. We also upgraded to Flickr Pro which means we will be posting more pictures (and short videos!) there to supplement our occasional blogs.
For those who like these kinds of details: she was born on Oct. 3 at 2:45pm and weighed 7 lbs., 2 oz. I don’t know how long she is yet. She has downy, reddish hair and blue or brown eyes depending on if you ask me or Bird. Her favorite activities are sleeping, holding my index finger, sleeping, eating, sleeping, crying, sleeping, and pooping (after which: sleeping). She is adorable in every way.
