Day 1 for Gianna Marie

Gianna and Mama are both doing well - resting very comfortably right now. Gianna did a great job eating and filling her diaper for the first 12 hours, but now just wants to sleep (which is understandable!:)

It's amazing how much information is thrown at us, since we've been relocated to the post partum wing, it seems that we've been inundated with a constant stream of visitors - not friends or family - but nurses, OBs, Pediatrician, Phlebotomist, Meal Delivery ("Nutrition"), Durham City Outreach, Birth Certificate Administrator, Lactation Consultant, etc. Gianna's arrival is a complex process and we are appreciative of everyone who has had a hand in helping her enter this world.

Take a look at the below pictures - It looks like Gianna has gotten features from both her Daddy's (nose?) and Mama's side (hopefully everything else! ;). I think the black and white picture definitely favors Mama. The Doctors and Nurses keep commenting on the length of Gianna's eyelashes - the second picture is a good look at them (especially if you click on the image and see the full version).
