She's here!

Astrid Thora was born at 9:10 PM. She almost ended up in the toilet, but we caught her in time :)

She's pretty tiny, but has been nursing since she was born so they haven't weighed her yet. I'll update more when we get around to it.

EEEEEEEE!!!! welcome to the world, little astrid thora (best name ever!)! I'm so happy for you and your family!!
call me a dork, but when I loaded my friends page and saw your post title, I literally gasped!

I hope you'll post your birth story- I want to know the details! and pictures, of course!!

by the way- thank you so very much for emailing me. I've been thinking about it a lot lately and it gives me some comfort for some strange reason. I do plan on emailing you back but I suck at replying to email so it might be a while :)

lots and lots of hugs

some of the most peculiar people on the planet have wished you congratulations from up in Seattle.

It's interesting - the baby was born during my participation in a shamanistic ritual. My friends are teasing me about being so bouncy and excited. I can't wait to meet my new housemate!

Congratulations! I want to see pictures as soon as they're available. I just knew you were going to have a girl. I love the name. And she shares a birthday with one of the greatest kids I know. Wow! Tell Leif congratulations on becomming a big brother, as well.

Beautiful name :)
Congratulations all around!
Can't wait to see you all! Leif did fine last night, although I'm sure he'll be overjoyed to see you soon.

Congratulations to all of you, and especially to her for picking such awesome parents. *)

Congrats!!! And, that is a beautiful name!

Congratulations! I hope you and Thora and family are doing well. Sorry this note is so late -- I haven't been reading LJ, and out of the blue mom called to verify that you had given birth, and I had no information. WHAT GOOD IS THE INTERNET?

I clearly have to find some excuse to get back to CA and visit y'all.

and: wow. she really is cute, not one of those weird faceless personality-less baby-lumps. and you look so happy / healthy in the pictures you posted. Encouraging and good to see.

Best luck.

[therealocelot.livejournal.com]

I'm a little amused that your mom would call you for confirmation rather than my mom.

I realized after sending out the emails that I probably should have included you, since I didn't know how often you were checking LJ. Sorry about that.

And yes, come to CA. We'll probably be in Southern California for Thanksgiving, or you're welcome to come visit us here.

[oatmeal.livejournal.com]

It's strange -- mom sounded a little miffed because your mom didn't call her and tell her about it. I'm not entirely sure how she actually found out.

hrm. Looks like I'll be in Seattle for Thanksgiving, but somewhere in CA in December.
