7 Lbs 14oz, 20.5 inches
I could recap the birth story, but for those familiar with our last, I will simply say it was almost exactly like Charlie's, but without the splash at the end.
This time, an excellent team of midwives, nurses, and doulas managed to actually contain Saydi's enthusiasm for rapid-fire childbirth to a relative snail's pace: 1 hour and 50 minutes.
Emmeline is a lovely, deep shade of red all over (even her little toes). One friend suggested that perhaps Saydi's insides are really sunny causing sunburn in utero. Seems plausible to me...
More to come,
Jeff
AAAAH! She's so beautiful! I can't WAIT to hear how everything went. Fast, I guess. And I can't wait to come hold that little baby--I miss the tiny phase already.
