Introducing
Maeve Elizabeth
born on the winter solstice,
December 21, 2011
at 5:36 in the evening,
after the first dusting of snow in
nearly a year fell on Chicagoland.
She weighed 6lbs. 1oz.
and measured 19.75 inches long
She was born unexpectedly early
at 36 weeks 6 days
by cesarean
to the beautiful sounds of
Sting singing Fields of Gold.
(selected by Dr. Daube from his playlist)
She is
precious,
pink,
and
utterly perfect
in every way.
She came home
on Christmas Eve.
And Santa had
presents waiting for her
Christmas morning.
But really,
she was the best present
of all.
