Welcome to the world, Lily Rosemary Szala!!!
Ok, the proper time on that would be 12:39 am on August 2, and so our grand prize winner goes to Chris Benjamin, who guessed midnight on August 2, just 39 minutes off! Congrats Chris! You've won a no-expenses paid trip to Finland!
Lily is doing wonderfully. She's gorgeous, has a bunch of hair, a healthy set of lungs, incredible latching power, and I'm just so damn proud! Of her, of Pamela, and heck, even of me! She's good at letting us know she needs us, but also pretty content to just lie back and check out the world. She's also pretty good at sleeping, as I found out, holding her for nearly 4 hours this afternoon. She's my little football!
More sleep than Mom and Dad have managed in the past 36 hours combined, which, I believe is at a grand total of 3 -- 2 for Dad, a solitary 1 for Mom. Night of the Living Dead, here we come!
Mom, Lyle, and Leeat were of crucial importance during the delivery, and big shout-outs go out to them. We really needed you, and you came through in the clutch. Thank you so much!
And thanks to all who have called, emailed, checked out the blog impatiently (that means you, Mom), and thought of us through these tough but brilliant times. We love you all.
MS

Thank you so much for updating your blog. It's so great to see you three in your various states of elation and fatigue. Here at the public library I'm actually getting all misty eyed thinking of your baby news... Congrats a million times over.
All's well here. Chris has been writing frantically and I've been doing my English class. Today I spent the morning baking traditional Finnish Karelian pies with the women from my course. Tonight maybe we'll row out to a nice rocky shore to read and picnic. Summer is nice but right now I'd give anything to hold little Lily. Welcome to the big world, baby! You're gonna rock the house! Much love, Miia
