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.

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 :)

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.

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! 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.
