Where to start?

Wednesday, July 26, 2006
Oh yeah - we had a baby. That's a good place to begin :)

On Monday, July 17th at 9:46 p.m. at Woodwinds Hospital in Woodbury, MN.
Genevieve Kathryn Daly.
We call her Eve.
She was 7 lbs. 5 oz., and 19 1/2 inches long.
She made her quick entrance into the world screaming at the top of her lungs.

I promise to have pictures to post and a full birth story, SOON. She is beautiful and perfect and healthy and everything we prayed for.

I am doing well, and feel pretty much totally healed already. We have been having struggles with breastfeeding, some successes and mostly failures, but we're plugging along.

Dad is doing well, coping with the lack of sleep quite well. Incredibly supportive of my swinging moods and raging hormones.

Big sister Josie is adjusting. It was a rough first couple of days. Sharing her world is not easy, but she is starting to realize that there is room enough for both of them on our laps and in our hearts.

I have a hungry baby to tend to. Hmm, I wonder when she had a diaper change last?... more to come.

Carol and Pat (and Josie too), Congratulations on Genevieve! I'm sure she is beautiful too! You are blessed with a wonderful family! Can't wait to move back to MN so we can be closer for playdates, girls weekends, football, etc.etc.etc!
