Dr. Livingston, I presume?

I now emerge from the jungles of caring for a newborn (hey, I haven't been getting much sleep--allow me my tortured metaphors) to actually post and announce that at 12:23 PM on Friday, January 18, 2008, Matter-Eater Lad and I met our daughter, Veronica Rose:

who by now more often looks like this:

She was 7 pounds, 11 ounces and 21 inches.

More later, since I would rather this not turn into a blog that is entirely about another human being's intake and output, and right this second that is all I've got.

ok, is it just me, or does that second face look a lot like dad?

Vika said...

A LOT like dad. And a bit like our baby pictures, too. There is definitely MEL there, too, midn you :)

Congratulations!! She's just SO adorable. You should post the picture where she's raising one eyebrow LOL!

i like this face though... i didn't know that was a REAL baby face that actual people could make!
and yeah, i keep seeing pictures and saying "she look so much like MEL/SWMBO"... some pictures are just so much like one or the other and some are such a combo, it is a little weird!

I've been perusing the pictures. Your baby girl has fabulous expressions. They make me laugh until my stomach hurts :D

The top picture looks fantastic. It must have been edited by a Photoshop genius ;)
