Mira Marie was born on Tuesday, September 7th at 5:03 pm. Although Ami had to be induced, the delivery went incredibly smooth. Ami only had to push for about 20 minutes and not very hard at that. Mira was as pink as cotton candy and got to lay with Mommy for a good long time (unlike Priya who was blue and rushed to the nursery to brighten up!).
After Daddy cut the cord and Mira spent more time with Mommy, they got around to measuring up Mira: 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20.5 inches. She weighs 9 ounces more than Priya did and Priya was 10 days late (Mira was induced 1 week early).
About an hour after she was delivered, Grandmaman brought Priya to visit Mommy and Mira. She was super sweet with her little sister. Priya wanted to immediately hold her.
It was great having both grandmothers in town for the birth. They were both beaming when they got to finally meet Mira. We couldn't have done it without both of them - especially with Priya and Sona (the dog) around needing love too.
Priya finally got her wish as we sat her down the on the couch and let her hold Mira while Nani and Daddy hovered closely, ready to catch. Priya celebrated by stealing Mommy's water.
Everybody is happy and healthy. Mira looks exactly like Priya did when she was born. We will head home tomorrow and introduce Mira to Sona. Then the fun begins!
