• was at the hospital for seven hours (except for an hour eating rubios and cold stone). my niece, Divinity Aurora was born at 6:43pm. she weighs 7 lbs. 1 oz and is 20 inches long. Michelle was at the hospital since 4 o'clock this morning. long labor, eh? her original due date was january seven, so Divinity was 12 days late. we were expecting her to reach almost 8 pounds, Michelle was so big. she's so cute--looks like a mix of David and Michelle, with David's eyes. poor Michelle though. she had a fever during her labor and she was so tired they had to use the vacuum, and on top of that she ripped. she's in pain, but she did good. Both Michelle and Divinity are on antibiotics because of Michelle's fever and because Michelle had GBS. the doctor was afraid that she might need some extra care, but she came out wailing and she's really alert. she follows your voice with her eyes and tilts her head. her arms were reaching and her legs were kicking and she kept sticking her tongue out. she's so cute! she has long limbs, man. and a cute lil' tummy =). wish i could spent more time with them but i'm off to san francisco tomorrow morning to start work in the english department and start settling back into the apartment. oh yeah, Michelle said she doesn't want to have anymore kids, lol.
