Maya Jeanne makes her entrance



Well, She's here! Maya Jeanne CastaƱeda was born at 6:42 am on September 4th, 2007. She weighed 5lbs 3oz. and was 19 inches long! Isn't she the most perfect and beautiful angel that ever lived?


I said in the last post that she wasn't technically premature. Turns out technically isn't quite accurate. She is pretty much a preemie, but a big healthy one! We had some issues with low blood sugar and jaundice and we've been in and out of the hospital all week, but thanks to lots of prayers and love, she's all clear and home now to relax.


It's been wonderful having so much family support. It's great to know that so many people love her.


Look at those skinny little legs! She's been eating like crazy, so she'll put on some weight soon!

Your baby is so cute. I couldn't be happier for you. I loved the video. We will have to get together so you can give me some pregnancy and delivery tips since you are a pro now :). Your description of the birth made me want to cry it sounded so beautiful.

God Bless,
