Subject: Kinsale Drake Hueston
Kinsale was born at 8:49am on Saturday morning. She's a mellow 8 lb.. 1 oz. cutie pie (well, excluding the puffy eyes, red marks on eyes and eyeballs, etc.) with one deep dimple on her right cheek (deep like one of Ryan's dimples).
She's got the Hueston's big second toe, and chin with the Drake floppy top of ears, dark hair (which may fall out and be replaced by fine "orangish" hair, like Tara's did), a hairy body, and dark skin. She looks very similar to Tara when Tara was born. She's not as mellow as Tara nor as rambunctious as Ryan. I'm sure she'll develop her own look soon but right now she's just a neat little bundle of love.
She's got a jaundice and is having a little trouble eating right now so we're mellowing at home with frequent visits to the doctor for tests and observations for next couple of weeks.
I'm doing very well, surprisingly, although I am a little sore now (I forgot that you get sore from the tensing and use of the muscles during the pushing, duh), and I am super duper glad to be home for my birthday.
Thanks again for everything. Kinsale, John, the kids, and I feel the love and strength from all of you.
