Hello!!
Here are some pictures of our new baby. There are also bigger versions here.
Her name is either Berith Rinah or Rinah Berith. Haven’t decided yet. We are going to call her Berith, which means “covenant” in Hebrew. Rinah means “to cry out, sing, rejoice,” also in Hebrew.
She was born yesterday, 4 days before her due date, on December 20, 2006, at 3:50 PM after 23 hours of labour (and 12 days of contractions before that) in her parents’ bedroom with two midwives. She was 19 inches (49 cm) long, and weighed 6 lb 7 oz (2900 g). At the last minute, she flipped around and decided to be born breech. Whew.
We can’t tell if her eyes are blue or hazel. It would make sense if they were hazel, because Ben and three of her grandparents have hazel eyes. I’ll write more later … maybe tomorrow … or the day after … or next week. I just thought I should send the pictures as soon as possible. I’m so tired. I’m going to sleep now.
