Here’s a first view of Alice for those who can’t wait. She’s about 20 minutes old in this picture. A nurse is checking her heartbeat. It’s hard to see in this small version, but in the full size one you can easily see the hairy shoulders Alice came out with. Mom claims that Alice has furry ears as well, but I haven’t verified that myself.
Alice seemed to like the camera. She turned toward me several times while I was angling for a shot.
I left Mom and Alice at the hospital. Alice has been napping most of the time since she was born and Mom was going to try to get some sleep time herself. She said she was feeling good for just having given birth, better than she felt at this point for the previous two.
But just to give you an idea of the type of woman Mom is, I’ll just note that in three pregnancies, she’s checked in to the hospital in the morning and had the baby delivered between 5 and 6 pm every time.
Hi Alan & Susan, Congratulations on your beautiful baby Alice. I was so thrilled to get a call from a very excited Grandma Onnen last night telling me Alice had arrived. I checked the computer first thing this morning hoping to see her picture and you didn’t disappoint me. She’s a doll. Love, Sonja
