Our First Week With Maja


It's been almost 1 week to the minute now since Maja was born. She's cuter by the day. Relatively speaking things have been pretty easy with her. Kaleb had a fever early in the week which meant we didn't sleep well with him waking up in the middle of the night, but that was gone quickly and we've had a good week since. Renata is recovering physically from the ordeal of pregnancy and is eager to feel a little more normal again. We are also still figuring Maja out in terms of what her rhythms and tendencies are for feeding and sleeping. But we're off to a pretty good start.
Kaleb loves being a big brother; helping mommy and daddy with Maja, holding her hand when she's crying, bringing her toys he thinks she might need, and even helping with her bath. And, of course, giving her lots of kisses.

I added a bunch more pictures in the last couple of days that you can take a look at in the web album (with downloads). Enjoy.

Maja Sue born this morning



Hey everyone. Our daughter was finally born this morning (okay she was only 2 days late, but still feels like long last). She arrived at 11:10am CET and weighed in at 3.82kg (8lb 6.7oz). Both Maja and mommy are healthy and resting. She's a strong little thing already pushing with her legs. Click on our photo album (downloadable)to see more pictures of Maja.
We are officially a typical nuclear family. We need 0.4 children or something now to be perfectly average.
