Announcing India

In plenty of time for Thanksgiving, and a healthy 2 weeks before her due date,
on November 19th, at 4:28am,
weighing in at 6lbs 12oz,

INDIA MARIA CHILOV

arrived safe, sound and cute.

Since arrival she's:

Nursed
Slept
Nursed
Slept/Nursed
Peeped
Stretched
Filled tiny diapers
Opened eyes long enough to gaze on brother Wyeth

Repeated above - on a 24-hour clock of her own keeping.

She's lovely, sweet, gamely bundle-able into Ergo and a remarkable feeder for one so small...

Wyeth is mostly pleased, and proud to show her off at school,
Ruslan is truly pleased but will probably be more pleased when we find a rhythm and he gets his wife back and

I'm very very pleased, relieved to have her out and healthy, and catching an hour's sleep here and there.

And we're ALL looking forward to Christmas as a newly minted family of 4.

Sending love and thanks for all we've been given,

Cheers from

Courtney, Ruslan, Wyeth and India
