I am brimming with pure joy to announce that our little Maggie is now a sister. This will come as a bit of a surprise to most; it certainly was to us. Our latest addition wasn't set to arrive until the end of the month. There is a long story to be told that I'll save for another post.
Let me start by saying that Nicola and I are sorry that we haven't made any phone calls yet. This isn't the most personal venue for our dear friends and family to get the news but here it is:
Lyla Claire Mooney was born today, Thursday, April 16th, 2009 at 3:49pm. She weighed 3.434KG or around 7lbs 9oz and was 50 cm / 20 inches long.
Both Mommy and baby are resting and doing very well. It is expected that they will both spend the next few days in the hospital.
Here are a few pictures from today:
We'll try to catch up with yáll soon. In the meantime, if you would like to share a thought with Nicola, please leave a comment here or you can send her an e-mail to my blackberry at:JRM 4/16/2009
