We Have a New Recruit


Her name is Mia, and she arrived last Saturday. She was 6lbs, 11oz and 18in long. Her pullups could use some improvement, but otherwise she's a great addition to our platoon. Michelle woke up early last Saturday morning feeling like she needed a light duty chit, so she headed down to sick call (civilians call it the hospital). We got to sick call about mid-morning and got ready. Michelle was a champ and worked Mia out in less than an hour.

Both Michelle and Mia are doing great. In this picture she's 7 days old. Mia sleeps decent already, feeds like she's done it before, and has an appetite that should get her to heavy weight status in no time. Her cry is even pretty quiet! She doesn't even cry that often! What's not to like?


These are my girls hanging out in the hospital. Michelle is adjusting to having pink in her babies' closet, and she has been very creative in combining other neutral colors with it to dilute the girliness. The nurse in the hospital was nice enough to make Mia a baby hat with a bow.
