Sabine was born at 2:44 pm on Saturday, October 11th - her due date, believe it or not. She's a beautiful little girl, a healthy 8 lbs and 20.5 inches. Contractions started on Thursday afternoon and we went in to the hospital at 1:30 am Friday night (well, Saturday morning). Heather was amazing, a real trooper, but after 10 hours of very hard labor in the hospital and no forward progress, she got an epidural and delivered Sabine with relative ease 3 hours later. Much to my surprise. I hung in there and watched Sabine come out and then cut the cord.
Bine is a good little eater and the breastfeeding is going well. We chose her middle name to honor my maternal grandmother Johanna Hille. We got a pretty good night of sleep and are feeling great. The only downside is that Sabine won't be old enough to vote for Barack Obama on November 4th:)
