At 6:56pm on 11/22/07, Korin gave birth to our first child, and as we had been previously informed, it's (still) a girl! She weighs 6 lbs 10 oz and is 19.5 in. long. At this point, she has just turned a day old. So far, she has already learned to breastfeed and had her first doctor's appointment. So far so good! Korin is in the process of recovering - we decided to take the risk averse route and go with the c-section as there was a risk of bleeding that we knew about coming in. What we didn't expect was that she would come on Thanksgiving - 10 days before we expected! For my part, I changed my first poopy diaper this morning at 11:15. Just wanted to mark the day.

Charli has been wonderful so far. A sound sleeper with a big appetite, who hasn't been too fussy so far. It would appear that Asian genes trump Irish ones, as my little girl looks a heck of a lot more like korin than me. That's probably better though, considering that korin is a hell of a lot better looking than me ayway. I would have posted a picture, but i am working from an iPhone here and can't upload files to tribe on it.

Hope you all had a great thanksgiving, but I am pretty sure that mine was better!
