Sasha Zee FAQ

Blammo! We had a kid. Her name is Sasha Zee. These are the FAQs.

1. When was she born?
1:08 PM, December 10th, 2006

2. Weight?
9 lbs, 10oz. If that were an SAT score, it'd be 1570. And not on that lame "new" SAT.

3. How was the birth?
Our homebirth midwives Brandi and Deanna were crazy supportive. Sasha was born smoothly in a birthing tub. Sara was a champ. No pain meds, never gave up. The hard part of labor lasted about 13 hours, with a day of pre-labor contractions. Zero cursing, no carnage. There were minor post-partum complications, and healthy scores on the baby.

4. Specs:
21 inches length
Head: 14.75 inches circ.
Favorite food: booby

5. What's "Zee" about?
It's Dutch for "Sea". (It better be, unless we got punk'd by the Dutch dictionary.) Pronounced "Zay", because you're a total stickler for Dutch/Hollandese/Netherlandish whatever.

6. What does she look like?
Not us, apparently. See for your yourself. Her face has no trace of Sara or me yet. Maybe she's not ours. She has a full head of dark hair, dark eyes, guitar-playing hands, and is unblemished. Ten fingers, ten toes. Big. Pink.

7. What's she like?
So far, she seems pretty mellow. Her eyes track along pretty well, and she likes the music of Gillian Welch and Clem Snide. Her health is great. Did I mention she was 9lbs 10oz?

So far, so good!
