Meet the newest addition to our home.

Freya Piper Monaghan

Image

Freya was born September, 29th @ 3:29pm. She was 7 lbs. even and 19 1/2 inches. As many of you know, Erin was a week past her due date when she came out to Brewfest last weekend. She is a trooper. We were very concerned Friday morning that we were going to need to induce, as Erin had been in labor for nearly 3 days, but she was amazing and gave birth to Freya naturally within 3 hours of ariving at the hospital.

Very tired, but happy parents.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Congrats!!

She's awfully cute, and I dig the name. Not that I haven't called you a couple of times a day for the last couple of days.

Wow I get rather sappy when I see new parents! Great looking kid! congrats and welcome to parent hood...it's worth every minute or hour of sleep lost etc. :D

Are you going to do a big wine or something to commermorate her arrival?

Edit: Looking at the time of birth Andy and I (and others) were pulling into Denver for GABF...Guess it's a good thing you didn't go :)

Sleep? What is that? Let's see, 1:45am on a Tuesday...Nope shouldn't be awake right now, but here I am typing one handed and rocking Freya with the other. As for a commemerative wine or mead, I am not realy sure what to make. Perhaps I will dedicate this next batch of ABC to her.

Oh, she's just beautiful (wiping away tear)!
I am working on enchiladas as I write - beans are cooking and rice will be done tonight. I'll call you tomorrow about a delivery time.

Congrats!
