Ariadne is here!!!!

Brandon and I are so excited to have our little girl with us. She is the sweetest baby ever, and just plain cute. Ariadne MacGregor (pronounced Air-ee-add-knee- she has no middle name) was born April 18, at 8:23 pm. She was 7 lbs 5.6 oz., and 19 inches long. So far, we think that she has my nose, maybe Brandon's ears and Brandon's hair. But baby's features change so often in the first few months of life that we may change our minds about that. :-)

As for some random things we've already discovered about her, Brandon and I have nicknamed her "Houdini." She is an EXPERT at kicking off her socks and getting rid of her hand thing-a-ma-jigs. Also, no matter how we wrap her up, she is able to get her hands out of the blanket. We are still working on our swaddling techniques, but she seems to sleep better with her hands above her head (a lot like Brandon- LOL). She can also already roll to her side, and seems to prefer it there (which makes her a lot like me). Brandon gets the biggest kick out of the fact that sometimes she will spit out her binkie, and put it back in. It looks unintentional, but she's done it enough times that Brandon claims we have a smart baby. :-)

Here are some pictures of her first week out of the belly:
