I knew I just had to get on and check this morning, even though I have other things I really ought to be doing!
Anyway...totally rambling, but I'm so happy for you. Welcome Dahlia!

The other kids are doing great. Kaija is sort of mourning not being the only girl anymore but is absolutely in love. Zaid is over the moon and can't stop kissing her. Eavan is really doing great other than trying to swing the Amby Hammock when she is in it.
She is tiny born at 5lb 15oz and now down to 5lbs 5oz. 17 1/2 inches long, 13 inch head. She has black fuzzy hair. She is nursing pretty well. She sleeps too long and only nurses on one side at a time. The first day she puked up everything but then stopped after getting cranial sacral therapy. He is coming to adjust her again tomorrow which is good because she is still spitting up slightly. I am so thrilled with my birth and really need to get the whole story written up before it fades. The older two watched the birth and my friend had Eavan in the bedroom and came out the moment she was born. (they heard her cry). Eavan asked what I was doing and Beth said having the baby and he said "she's singing songs".

Everyone handled the birth very well and it went so fast that it wasn't too bad having Eavan under foot. I hid in my bedroom most of the labor. I hope I can get the story written tonight after Eavan goes to bed.
