Nina Mae De Groot arrived yesterday (July 13th) at 1:07pm, weighing 6 pounds 14 ounces and 20 inches long. She is the most beautiful thing in the world, and SO sweet. Whitney and I are trying our best to figure out how to be parents, and so far we are having a great time (even with the complete lack of sleep between a night of contractions 5-10 minutes apart and our first night as parents!). We are so excited to finally have here here, and we are excited to introduce you to her. So without further adieu...
I apologize for the lack of pictures... the internet here at the hospital is giving me grief. WAY more to come so please stay tuned. I am going to leave all of the juicy details of the pre-labor and labor to Whitney... she experienced it first hand and I would forget half of the important details. The delivery went relatively well besides two problems... there was some meconium in the amniotic sac and the umbilical cord was loosely around Nina's neck (it was causing her heart rate to drop right after some of the contractions). Besides that the delivery was absolutely amazing. Now the real fun begins of being parents! Wish us luck, and look for more pictures and details soon.
Oh, one other thing... Nina SNORTS like a pig all day long. I will post a video of her doing it soon because it is the cutest thing in the world. I just hope she grows out of it by the time she is 16... it won't be too cute then.
