Curie Louise
8/29/2009 ~ 9:10 pm ~ 9 lbs 3 oz ~ 20 inches
The waiting is finally over! Our little Curie was born Saturday night. We love her so much and are so grateful to be able to hold and kiss her now.
Bethelle and Rigby are in love with her. When he saw her in the hospital, Rigby jumped up on me and gave me the biggest kiss of his life. It was as though he was so proud of me. How does he know? I think he understood what was going on better than we knew.
Here we are, ready to go home!
Isn't she pretty in her little dress? I had feared it would be too big for her, but I've never had such a chubby baby before. We couldn't do up all the buttons in the back!
We've had a little trouble with people pronouncing her name, so I'll let you know that it is said "cure-ee" like curious, not like the spice, curry. She is named after Marie Curie, the two-time nobel physicist who discovered radiation and developed it into our most successful cure for cancer. Her husband, daughter, and son-in-law also received Nobels for related work. Marie gave her life to the effects of the radiation, but probably saved the life of a friend of every reader of this blog.
