We had a baby girl last Wednesday night at 9:40 pm. I am of course biased, but I think she's pretty cute (picture to the left.) Look out Jessica Biel.
I wrote up a full account of our two nights in the delivery room, re-read it, decided it was way too boring and am working on a condensed version.
Wednesday night was an evening full of surprises. First of all, we were excited to learn that we had a girl (for some reason, we were convinced that it was going to be a boy.)
We also got a surprise visit from Spencer's parents, who have been fantastic about driving between Berkeley and San Jose to help us out with getting ready for the baby. We know it was a late night for them.
We got another surprise visit from a friend who lives near the hospital. She brought champagne to celebrate the occasion, although we were in no condition to drink it at that time. I think that her visit to the labor and delivery room will serve as birth control for the next 2 years.
The other big surprise is that after delivering a 7 lb 13 oz baby girl, I was able to maintain the figure of a woman who is 9 months pregnant. That's right folks, I still can't see my feet below my belly. Or the floor 6 inches in front of my feet. Spencer is surely excited about this as he will be able to continue to park in 'expectant mothers' parking when we go to Babies R'Us later this afternoon.
