Happy Birthday Susanna!!

Let's see if I can live up to the great blogging Jessie has been doing for the last 9 months. Susanna Fourie Gonzalez was born this morning, 3/25/08 at 10:30am via C-section. She weighed in at 8lbs 15 oz and measured 21.75" long.

It has been an incredible experience for Jessie, Susanna, and I. Everyone is doing well. Jessie has commented numerous times that it was so much easier than she thought it would be. She is a little sore, but has not really taken much pain medication so far.

Susanna is cute as a button and has been sleeping most of the day. However, she has been keeping me busy on diaper duty. She loves being swaddled but also enjoys stretching out her arms and legs and not curling up too much. I think you'll agree she got the best cap in the nursery. Some group of volunteer elderly ladies knit the caps for the hospital. I think they used all their left over yarn for this one, seeing how there are so many colors going on.

Enjoy the pics, I'm sure we'll post some more tomorrow. Mom, Dad, and Susanna are going to get some sleep as their first night together as a family.
Love, Miguel
