Birth Announcement!

Nuriel Bradi was born at 11:32 a.m. this morning at home after 12 hours of labor. She decided to come without Mama having had that cocktail... She's just so precious. I'm so in love. And she looks just like her Papa!

First pout at about a minute out of the womb...

... and later not happy about "getting measured" & such.
21" & 9 pounds on the dot!

Congrats to emerson-j & Wabi-Sabi-Wanderings for being right on with the birthweight. Yeah. She's a girl. I was so surprised to see that when I looked a few minutes after she'd been placed on my chest! Off to rest & enjoy my baby.

Thank you, Brent, my love. What a precious gift. I love you!

Oh my goodness, she is beautiful. I am a stranger, lurker from Pa. and I am not sure how I found your blog, but I've been checking it way too many times a day to see if there was any baby news! Congratulations.

Yay! Fantastic news Cadi, and I think a girl in the house is going to be just perfect. I had my suspicions as I knitted blue ;-) Look forward to hearing from you again once you are rested and have had lots of baby cuddles and gazes ;-) I am so happy for you!
Lots of love

Woohoo, congratulations !!! So wonderful to wake up and see your post. I knew I would though, I'd just had a dream about the birth.

A girl in the house will be such a blessing.
So excited for you and so pleased you are both safe and well.

She's perfect and adorable! I cannot wait to meet her! I just love her already!

I am glad I was able to reach you. You do not sound like you just had a nine pound baby. You sound like you are doing great. Brent would be amazed and proud of you! You kick so much ass.

Sue from Ky. said...

Ditto,ditto,ditto on every count from me,too.I think we have all been anxiously awaiting this moment with you, and are equally happy Nuriel was a girl. Boys are great, but since you already had two, you three, are now blessed with a beautiful little lady. I'm sure she won't have to worry about getting too many hand me downs.Good Job and Congratulations from our house to yours.

paula said...

YEAH . .a little girl. That Brent pulled a fast one on you with the switch-eroo from a boy to a girl, didn't he!
