It's another Girl!

My second daughter, Calista, minutes after being born last night (June 23rd) at 10:43pm. She came out at 3.96 kg (8.73 lbs) and 52 cm. This delivery went more smoothly than Aurelie's last one clocking in at around 8 hours of labour with a little bit of epidural near the end. I know we can't see Aurelie's face in this photo but believe me that smile says it all.

Mom and baby are doing very well. We are all happy and very proud to welcome her into our family.

Quelle joie de voir enfin la frimousse de la petite Calista. Elle est toute mimi. En attendant de l'embrasser nous lui souhaitons la bienvenue depuis Grenoble. Toutes nos félicitations et plein de gros bisous à tous. Nous attendons avec impatience une photo de toute la famille - papa compris !
