It Finally Happened

(taking a break from labor to have a spot of tea)

The baby is here. It is a boy. 9lb 9oz., 21.25 inches. He arrived at 6:48pm October 5, 2011. His name is Miani Zion Crosland. As you may remember Miani is the name of my best friend in PNG (see this post: I want my EMTV!!!). It is kind of a big thing in PNG to give the baby the name of someone close to you (mostly family members or friends).
( moments of after birth)
Both mom and baby are doing well. The baby’s head is very bruised but he’s ok. As you might imagine with a baby this size, he is a hungry boy. He has been eating like a champ since he came out.
(weighing in)
More to come later.

Welcome, Miani! Can't wait to meet you when you come back to PNG! I don't think our time will cross when we are in Cairns. We get there November 10th. Maybe??
