As you probably knew already, we were expecting the birth of our daughter around June 23. I guess Miss Albosta heard Jess complaining about ‘puffy feet’ and thought she’d do mom a favor by coming a little over 4 weeks early.
You heard right.
Introducing Charlotte Paige Albosta!
Born May 22, 2010, 8:56pm at Fairfax Hospital.
5lbs, 9oz, 19.5 inches long.
We had no intention of having a baby today, but Jess was having some bad GI problems all morning and was getting very dehydrated. Went to the L&D triage and after several hours of monitoring were told “today is going to be your daughter’s birthday”. About an hour later Jess was prepping for surgery and I was snapping nervous pictures in the waiting area.
Soon after we had a crying baby girl.
Mom and daughter are doing well, and despite being “preemie”, she is getting to stay with us in the room. I of course had to come home and gather all of the clothes, toothbrushes, etc that we didn’t bring because we didn’t expect today to be THE DAY!
Stay tuned for more posts and more pictures!
