Well, our little monster has arrived and she is just about the most precious thing I have ever seen.

I must admit, I never thought of myself as particularly maternal, but I am already having a hard time imagining going back to work and leaving her. Now this is not because I really have any interest in being a stay-at-home-mom, or would like to abandon my career aspirations in order to clean my house and change diapers all day....the real problem is I can't imgaine allowing a random stranger to take care of me. I am really quite protective of her and have to fight the psychotic situations that play out in my head where she falls into the subway track or a homeless person tries to steal her and seel her on the black market.

Anyway, you are now privy to the mad ravings of a new mother...good luck!

BTW, she is a she and she was 7;b 4oz when she was born and is perfectly healthy and actually a really good baby...quiet and a good sleeper....thank the lord!

Well, my little monster is hungry...
