We're All Alive

Well, it turns out that I'm no better a blogger now that I'm a mom.

The babiclaus was born March 25 at 2:48 am. She weighed 9 pounds 2 ounces and was 20 inches long. (Damn! I'm glad they induced me two weeks early!)

I'm hoping to get back here to post about the whole experience on Saturday, but currently my feet are double their normal size and I am in breastfeeding hell, so no promises.

Now, tell me how cute my daughter is.

She's adorable! And here's some a$$vice for you. BUY A HAT. You will be so tired of all the "look at that hair!" comments as you are trying to rush through stores, errands and such. As a mother of a 5 month old Hairball myself, TRUST ME ON THIS. :-)
