Today was her due date, but our munchkin arrived just about 2 weeks early. Sanaa was born on Tuesday March 20, 2012 @ 1:42 am. 7 lbs 14 oz. 21 inches tall.
For those that would like to know what her name means...Sanaa means "sunshine" or "brilliance". Kiran means "ray of light".
It was a relatively uneventful labor - except I did scream at some point "This is not fair!" which keeps making Hasan laugh even now. In fact, the labor was everything we wanted it to be, much of which was due to the wise and active expertise of our doula, Nikki. Not sure what H and I would have done without her!
As soon as she came out, I said "that's Erwin's baby, not mine!" because she looked just like him. These days, you're starting to see a bit of an Indian girl in her. Either way, her eyes are just so lovely to me.
Anyway, baby is fine. Eating like there's no tomorrow. She's actually a really easy baby (thank God!). It's been two weeks, and I'm loving this new phase of life. As I posted the other day on Facebook, there really is nothing like picking up your daughter after a nap and looking into her face. So much sweetness and potential.
I decided to do a project where I take a picture of her every week for the first year - a "52 weeks of Sanaa" project. Here's the link on Flickr. Check it out for a virtual flip book approach to her growth. She's changed so much to me already!
