Arrival


I am happy to announce the birth of our daughter, Maxine Ruth.

Maxine weighed 11 lbs 8.7 oz at birth and was 23 inches long...no that
is NOT a typo. And I am not sure how I grew such a large baby (I am only 5'2").

She was born on January 3, 2007 at 11:12 AM via cesarean section after
32 hours of labor....needless to say it was a bit of a long ordeal.
She spent 4 days in the NICU due to some glucose level, infection and
jaundice issues. But Maxine is doing great now. and we are so in love with her!

I hope to get you all the sordid birth story....but for now I need to sleep!

Very exciting- congratulations! I'm glad to hear she's doing well despite the scary start.
 
Dear Stephanie, a thousand congratulations! I am so, so happy for you. Maxine is a real cutie -- and I'm so glad she's doing well now. What a big girl!

Holy Huge Baby! Congratulations, I have been so worried about you both. I am so glad that you are both home and sound like you are doing well.
I thought Alex was big at 9 1/2 pounds, you win on that one. ;)

Can't wait for the story, have to live vicariously through all of you lovely ladies.

At 11 1/2 lbs. you named her right!!! Maxi is the perfect name. Wow - really you are 5'2"? LOL. You poor thing!!!! One of my friends is 5'2" and was miserable with her 6 lb. baby.
