Ruby June

Just about a week ago, we had our Ruby June!

I was in labor a week ago today, Sunday, and she was born at 1:38 am in the early hours of Monday, March 15, 2010.

Here is what Joe wrote to a few family and friends after she was born:

"We got her now!
At long last, please welcome our little girl, Ruby June, to the world. She's simply beautiful and amazing, just like her mom.
She was born Sunny Side Up at 1:38 this morning, after about an hour of pushing (maybe less!). Not bad for being 9 days after the due date!
Ruby is 21.25 inches long, and weighed 8 lbs, 6 oz. Molly did an amazing job to bring this little one into the world safe, happy and healthy. There were no complications at all. So far, both are resting comfortably and bonding quickly. Ruby has taken to nursing like a duck to water, and she has even found her thumb to be satisfying. That may be important in a few weeks, if she can self-soothe and sleep contentedly.
We're excited for everyone to meet her in time, and she'll be home from the hospital tomorrow. Please stop by to visit and meet the little one sometime soon. Thanks for all the support and love through the last 9 months. We all appreciate each of you!
Joe, Molly, Kai and Ruby"

Happy Birthday Ruby June!!
