You may be wondering why this blog has been so quiet. Here's why:

On Saturday, May 10, at 12:51 AM, after just over 24 hours of effort on the part of her parents (mom in particular), family, doula, and staff at Swedish Hospital, Maddalena Sarah-eve entered the world, a healthy baby of 9 lbs, 1 oz. The family is now at home resting. Thank you for the kind wishes and messages, all. Pictures to follow in the coming days.
