First days

... in the life of the newest arrival (yet to receive her official 'iesauka')

1. B-Day minus one: baby is knocking at the door, but doesn't want to come out. So we wait. And wait. And wait.


2. B-day arrives with some thoughtful timing on Dz's part (after work for some, before bed for other, etc! what a considerate girl... ) As a result she had a plethora of loving and helping hands to welcome her into the world.
