Words fail us! And we are tired! There will be more later, but before cyberspace gets the news out for us, we are happy to share that Alida Hazel Sarina Myers joined our family on the outside on her due date, which is technically yesterday now (March 26). 19 1/2 inches, and a chubby little 7 lbs 13 oz, with a medium amount of dark hair. She cried like a champ for about ten minutes, then nursed like a champ for a while, and is now alternating between those two activities and sleeping like a champ, the sleeping being the most dominant activity unless she has to try to transition to Daddy's arms.
Janelle did so excellently, even though she has confessed to again fully discovering the intensity of birth. Alida also did excellently, and now we just have to become accustomed to the idea that she's really here. Enough for now. More later. Love to all!
These are precious pictures. You have been blessed!
