yesterday at 2 am Isha Sol Akhtar Baron emerged in our dark bedroom and scored 11 out of 10 on the Apgar Scale (shades of Spinal Tap!). Active labor, starting at 8 pm, then we progressed like gang-busters.The midwife Deborah arrived at 12:30 - the second arrived at 1:55 am, and Isha met all of us 6 minutes later. The head pops out first, you know, and Isha was ready to breathe right then, even before her chest had cleared and her lungs could expand. Kami watched it all! Deborah said 'your baby wants to breathe - push the rest of her out!" 1 second later it was so. So Isha's birthday is June 18th - mark your calendars!
Today was her second checkup, her first bath, and her first moment in the sun (through a window, but still). Oh, and she likes being in her sling.
She is doing great!
