Speechless...

The much awaited event happened this morning... at 8:22am
The doctor suspected Breanne (or is it Brianne, Mel?) would be a big baby and they were not wrong... She weighed 10 lbs 15 oz!
There she is not even 12 hours old and she has already outgrown most of her clothes... definitely the ones the hospital put her in!
The hat they put on her head kept on popping right off her head any time she moved and that made her cry...
When the nurse came in at one point she changed her completely and it must have been more comfortable for her as the undershirt they had on her kept riding back up under her little arms... little arms... nothing little about this baby in spite of what Michael thinks!...
and she is BEAUTIFUL!

The nurse asked Melanie not to feed her and so Joe put his finger in her mouth and that pacified her. By afternoon she had already lost 5oz.
She is very alert for a newborn. That does not surprise me as all my kids were big babies and very alert from day one. I hope she is as good for her parents that her mom was for me.
Congratulations Joe and Mel! and Breanne, too... You picked well... (=
