Her details, just in case you want them...
Born at 5:16pm (official time says 5:17pm, but Ricardo says differently...and he took a picture of the clock when it happened)
on Saturday, May 2nd, 2009.
Height: 19.2 inches
Weight: 6lbs, 15 oz.
full head of dark hair
dark blue-greyish eyes
and cute as can be!
So, here's a photo journal of what our last 50 or so hours have been like:
Trying to rest through early pain/labor/etc...
Nasty old contractions...
Baby needed some more oxygen...contractions were getting to her.
Trying to get rid of the post-delivery shakes and shivers! And impatiently waiting to see my baby! (They didn't just rest her on me, since they had been so concerned for her heartrate/oxygen intake...they took her immediately to work on getting the fluid out of her lungs. So...mama had to wait.)
Beautiful at 5 minutes old. Look at those gorgeous eyes!
I finally get to hold my baby girl!
We are so glad that's over with!
Up to our postpartum room
Just resting.
First visitors: Stephanie, Maggie, and Lee, at 8:00pm Saturday.

Xaris' first bath...
Grandmama arrived on Sunday! Smiles for both of them!
I LOVE this picture.
She does look sweet while smiling!
Sunday night, Xaris turns 1 day old.
More visitors! John, Debra, and little John Marshall DeSario.
Thanks for Sunday dinner friends! It was delicious!
Hanging out with my girl.
Monday morning...Daddy-daughter time.
Another visitor: Katie!
We made it home! Xaris has been sleeping in her basket for most of the afternoon/evening now...long day, means lots of sleep.
I don't know what it means for tonight's sleep schedule though...
Thank you all for your well-wishes and prayers!
