I’m in the club!
Emmanuelle Hope Bandura made her 7 pound, 14 ouce appearance into the world on Sunday night just in time for supper. Mom and baby are both napping as I write, and I can definitely see it taking “a few” days to develop something resembling a routine around here.
For those seeking photos, below are at least a few to proof the existence of our sweet little girl.
1) The official first shot…
2) First family portait…
3) Our wonderful nurse.
4) This week’s special: Baby burrito.
5) My parents, happy to be grandparents again.
6) So sleepy…
