Meet Mina

June 14th, 2011

hello world

Wilhelmina Anne was born at 11:43 pm on May 17th. (She was born via C-section, 50 hours after my water broke in the parking lot of a movie theater after seeing Bridesmaids.) (Which totally reminds me to write about Melissa McCarthy’s character in Bridesmaids.) She weighed 6 pounds, 14 ounces, and was 20.87 inches long. She is, of course, perfect! And that’s where I’ve been. Thanks for your patience!

    Congratulations on Mina!! What a cutie. Love the shirt!

    How are you feeling about things? How is your recovery going? How is breastfeeding?

    Feel free to email me if you have any questions or just need someone to listen. These first weeks can be overhelmingly busy and exhausting, so do your very best to take care of yourself as well as the baby. And if that means being out of touch for a while, I’m sure everyone will understand that too.

    I’m glad she’s here!! Welcome Mina! And congrats, mama! I’m very happy for you. :-)

    But seriously, she is beautiful and congratulations, what a wonderful addition to your family.

  30. kitten, on July 3rd, 2011 at 12:07 am Said:

    what a beautiful baby!!! absolutely adorable!! love up on her all you can, they grow SO fast…

    my “baby girl” will be 29 in september, the “baby boy” just turned 18.

    if you want some “mama wisdom”… you cannot spoil baby by holding them too much. there is no such thing as “too much” in telling a child that they are good and lovable and special. even when you have to discipline, remind your child that the ACTION is bad, but you still love her. there are not “too many” hugs and kisses and snuggles with your baby.

    and NO ONE knows better than you and daddy how to raise YOUR child. :)

  31. Bettie, on July 5th, 2011 at 9:38 am Said:

    Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl.

  32. Sarah F, on July 6th, 2011 at 5:05 am Said:

    Hey Mo! It’s Meg from JournalCon, back in the day. I was just looking at my contacts in Flickr and saw your sweet Mina. Congratulations!!!! I just had a baby myself, a boy, back in Feb. His name is Homer, and he was the same birthweight as Mina. :) Anyway, just thought I’d say hi and congrats!!

  37. Al Lowe, on July 26th, 2011 at 2:12 pm Said:

  38. Mercutia, on October 31st, 2011 at 5:07 pm Said:

    I was just following links from feministy-type blogs because of Melissa McCarthy stuff and then my brain was eaten by THE CUTEST BABY I’VE EVER SEEN. Don’t tell all my new-parent friends or they’ll kill me. EEEEE BABY!
