Welcome Amelia Sue Countryman Walsh

Amelia Sue was born on Wednesday, July 22nd, just before 7pm. She weighed 7 pounds, 16 ounces (sic), and was 20 inches long, for the dimensionally inquisitive. There were no complications for Jeri or Amelia. Pictures can be found here.

I'll have to write-up the labor and birthing experience when I get a chance. For those that don't know how it works, basically one human comes OUT OF another human. It is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. I'd always given Jeri a lot of respect, because I'm pretty sure she can kick my butt, but after seeing that, I'm certain of it. Huge thanks to Andrea, both for the pre-natal yoga for Jeri, and the help in labor and birthing. Also, the entire staff, nurses and doctors, at CPMC were fantastic.

Right now we're adjusting to life with a micro-human. Her schedule is Eat, Sleep, Poop, though not necessarily in that order. Sometimes all three at once. Her "day" is roughly 3 hours long, so she gets about 8 days in for each of ours. We're adjusting to the odd sleep schedule, and so far we're managing with help from our dear friend Nancy.
