Welcoming Meg

Jonathan and I are pleased to welcome Margaret Hope to our family. :-D The details:

Born 12:39 pm, December 30
8 lbs, 1 oz
20 1/2" long

She came home from the hospital January 1, and she is a beautiful and very good baby. She sleeps for three or four hours at a whack through the night and actually tolerates diaper changes, though she isn't a fan of sponge baths. She had some trouble nursing at first, but that cleared up and she now eats voraciously. At last check, she had re-gained nearly six ounces in two days and was well on her way back up to her birth weight. Meg likes being with her people, riding in the car, and being read and talked to in Latin. (Seriously. It must be the rhythm or something. I'm going to have to brush up.) She has my nose, chin, and skill at making faces, and her daddy's general face structure and eye and hair coloring.

Pictures are up on Facebook. If you don't have an account and simply must see her, let me know. :-)
