Welcome, Veronica Rosemary (short edition)

Though I tried my best to flood all the social medias on Monday with play-by-play action of the labor and delivery (details forthcoming juuuuuust in case I missed any), it seems some heroic souls either have resisted Facebook and the Twitter (I'm looking at you, Martin), or somehow find fulfillment in a life that does not involve listening to me blab every place I can on the Interwebz (shocking).


So for you holy souls, Veronica Rosemary was born on Monday, May 7, at 4:20 p.m.  She was 7 lbs., 11 oz., has a full head of hair, and was carried out of me on a flood of prayers from all over the world, for which my family and I thank you very very much.


pissed off at the injustice of the whole birthing process


still pissed

tuckered out

Within a day or so, I'll post her birth story, but right now I'm going to eat bagels and stare at our first girl in seven million years.

  2. She is AWESOME!!!!! I am so happy you had a girl, and I love her name. I can't wait to hear all about the birth - she was tiny (well, for being one of your babies!)! I love her already :)

    Side note, my friend gave birth the day after you. To a girl. Named Veronica Margaret! Two beautiful Veronica's!! And my Maggie is Margaret Rosemary, so we love the name choices :)
