Whew, I'm exhausted. I'm finally home with my parents and Grandmother Nonna in Berkeley. I was born on Thursday night. My parents arrived at the hosipital on Wednesday morning for a test and didn't return home until a few minutes ago.
So here are the basic facts:
I was delivered at 9:47 PM (21:47)
I weighed 8 lbs 8 ounces, 21 inches long.
I was wide-eyed but a bit confused and blurry in the first moment. And blue... As I got cleaned up I met my father, then a few minutes later, my grandmother Nonna. Such a busy social life. Sorry, sleepy now.... a few photos before I go...
Here's my mom a few days before I arrived, walking around on Mt. Tamalpais and wondering what's taking me so long.

At the hospital, getting to know ma my first full day in the world.

Got a bit tired.

I'm starting to get the hang of this.


My dad looks so tired and then he starts calling me "wee bairn". What's up with that?
