Day 1: Watching Norah and birth stories


Our wait is over. At 10:32 AM this morning, Friday May 7th, Norah Evelyn Grunfeld was born. She was 7 lbs. and 19 1/2 inches long. She is happy, healthy, alert, hungry, and absolutely perfect. Mother, Father, Baby, Sister, Auntie, Uncle, Cousin, and Cousin are all doing well and are very happy baby has finally arrived. I'll let Marita tackle the birth story when she's ready- she's napping on the couch with sweet Norah right now- but we wanted to get up some pictures of our first day with the new baby. Enjoy!

Reading over and over the birth story of Norah, reminds me of me giving birth to Lili and Norah's grandfather.
It was in a hospital in Romania. Uncomplicated easy birth. I don't remember how long before I had the contractions but in the delivery room I was only 4 hour.He was 4kg.
They took me in my room and was wraped tightly in a sheat for the stomach to go back to normal.Couldn't sit up or mlove. The nurse came in every few hours to turn me over.
I was in this contraption for a week.I don't remember how much my stomach got in shape. I was in the hospital for 10 days and it was a normal uncomplicated birth.
I wonder how birthing is going to change 62 years from now?
Probably by hand held computer Click here click there push enter and out comes the baby.
Love you all Nana
