arrived on Friday after a long and hairy labor and a scary moment of apnea afterwards. but, she is doing fantastic and we were able to leave the hospital a few hours later. my other children are quickly falling in love with our little Gem.

i'm happy to report that the fancee free and new bravado (the one that looks like a regular bra) nursing bras are excellent. (thanks for all the nursing bra suggestions!)

best of luck to erin and irene and anyone else in the June Baby Club.
