Maya's here!

Maya Grace was born on Friday, May 30th at 2:40 pm. She was 7 lbs, 7 oz (either their measurements were way off or those milkshakes paid off!) and 20.5" long. She has Dave's lips and my hands and feet, and pretty long hair. Labor was challening (but that's to be expected) and we've had some feeding challenges that have left me pretty exhausted (we're having to formula feed and pump right now---which takes twice the time per feeding), but we're progressing every day and happy to be at home as a family.

Soon I'll write up our birth story and explain more about her silly tongue (she loves playing with it).

Dave takes 10,000 pictures a day, here are some of them: (I need to upload the camera, so you can see more of Dave & Maya too)


Heading to the hospital:

Early labor:

Excuse my paleness and how crappy I look in the rest of the pictures. I'm exhausted (still) and have been a little pale since everything went down:



These pics are from 6/1, when she came home from the hospital.
Look how little her head is compared to mine (and how much healthier her color is!):
