Eight Weeks Already!

The time does fly by! Here’s a set of as-yet-unposted pictures from Alexandra’s first eight weeks.

Some Special Shout Outs

In Alexandra’s arrival we had a lot of helping hands. Here are some particularly notable ones who took care of us during labor & surgery and during our stay in the hospital.

Our obstetrician, Dr. Henry Hamilton.

(We got pictures with Bing, Myrna, Rosette, and Ilka. We also want to give special mention to nurses Kristine & Kerry, nurse assistant Crystal, lactation consultants Kimberly & Susan, the receiving pediatrician Dr. Bress, and Lara’s anesthesiologist Dr. Hsieh.)

Kat Seevers of Dolphin Doula, who kept us all sane and who shall forever be responsible for dubbing Alexandra our “brassy wee lassie.”
