Born: April 07, 2007

Weight: 7 pounds, 11 ounces

Length: 20 inches

*note: The liquid by the eyes is am antibiotic applied shortly after birth, she was about 15-20 minutes old at the time of this picture ^_^

Finally. About 26 hours after being checked into the hospital, and about 2 hours of sleep for me, my daughter was born at 12:53 PM (less than 12 hours before this post, actually) Heh, I still haven't slept… Have some cleaning up to do before her and my fiance get out of the hospital.

It was pretty amazing for me actually… The guy who usually passes out when his blood is drawn, managed to make it through an entire labor and birth, and even cut the umbilical cord. Of course, my job wasn't nearly as difficult as it was for my girlfriend. She obviously was in alot of pain, but handled it really well.

I've alot to learn and do (for instance today I changed my very first diaper… funner than it actually sounds really, it's kinda weird in an odd way :p) …But I am so looking forward to it. It's bound to eat up much of my time, but I assume I'll get some GM time during a nap here and there… Heh, perhaps I should get working on something 'educational'…

Anyways, that's probably enough for now, I've already spent most of the day blabbing about her to family, think it's about time I got some work done here before getting to sleep. (Work that was planned for friday after the clinic, until being told to go straight to the hospital…)
