Team Baby -- pictures from the day of Vivian's birth

Here are a few pictures from Vivian's birthday.

The first is of Team Baby -- on the left is Anna, the student/assistant, and of course the fabulous Dr. Sara Ohgushi on the right.

I have to insert here that this wasn't an easy birth by any rubric. That's a big baby, and she had to turn before she was born. She turned at the "transition" stage of Katye's labor, which (I'm told) is hard enough as it is. The BBDR was a fantastic coach and support throughout this experience and we can't thank her enough.

I'll probably continue to gush about her as we go on, but that's why you people came here right? For overwhelmed, unedited, parental gushing?

And pictures, so lets get to those. Again, the first is of Team baby, then the other two are of Katye and I with the Bebeh each within an hour of the birth.

Enjoy untrammeled familial photography,

That's what the folks in our spiritual group call "spirit eyes." She's radiant because she's high as a kite, in the best way.
