felicity is here!

i have been on a bit of hiatus from the blog.  pregnancy is now done.  baby is here.  and now that i am on maternity leave though i hope to post updates a bit more frequently to let you know what is happening in baltimore.

we welcomed felicity anne into our family on june 22 (41 weeks and 4 days).  she weighed in at 6lb 13.2oz and was 19.5 inches long.  she's a great eater though and at 10 days has already put on more than a pound.  those baby rolls and cheeks are starting to fill out!

felicity's first bath at home

i'm enjoying learning all of her quirks, faces and squeals.  it is still hard to comprehend that she is ours.

her name "felicity" means "a source of happiness" or "happiness" depending on your source.  we wanted a shorter middle name and with anne "with an e" we hope to instill her with a sense of the mischieviousness of anne of green gables.  her initials spell "fay" is how the word for fairy is prounounced in french (though it is spelled differently in french).

now back to figuring out how to get the smell of baby puke to disappear from the couch!
