After a long wait, Charlotte Marguerite is finally here! Mommy and baby are doing great and Charlotte is already bright-eyed and very vocal!
She weighed in at 7 pounds, 1 ounce, and was 20 inches long. She's already met one set of grandparents and most importantly, she's met big sister Lily! (Who already adores her!)
We named the baby Charlotte after the city that Liz and I met in (and because we like the probable nicknames Charlie and Lottie; Lottie being my great-grandmother's name as well!) and Marguerite after my grandmother. (Lily was named after Liz's grandmother in England.)
We had a fairly uneventful birth with the exception of the inclusion of John Denver's "Country Roads," and all of the #1 hits of Elvis Presley. (The surgical team had an iPhone with awesome selections!) While we were not so much paying attention to the background music, I'm pretty sure the song that was playing when she was born was called "The Wonder of You." Other songs that played included, "Jailhouse Rock," "Don't Be Cruel," "Suspicious Minds," "Devil in Disguise," "Heartbreak Hotel," and "Burning Love." This is all significant because "Country Roads" is pretty much Lily's favorite song of the moment. She sings it ALL THE TIME! And, because of the Disney movie "Lilo and Stitch," she is loving everything Elvis, especially "Burning Love." (See previous blog posts...) It made us feel like Lily was there with us.
We are thrilled to be able to share our good news with you and hope to see you all soon!
Mike, Liz, Lily, and Baby Charlotte
