It's a Girl!!! Talia Yardena Sinclair!!!
Hi Everyone!
I guess the title says it all! Tali's 7lbs 10oz, 20.5 inches long, and was born on September 15 at 10:35am. What an incredible beauty! She is perfectly healthy (Thank G-d) and perfectly perfect. Throughout our hospital stay, she had an amazing ability to calm herself (and to be calmed by others). She even slept through a blood test in the nursery with other babies howling all around her!
We're back from the hospital, trying to get used to our new sleep deprived schedules. I seem to be specializing in swaddling (wrapping her tight in a blanket to calm her) and changing dirty diapers. Ilana's specialties are feeding and healing, clearly the much tougher tasks.
The swaddling bit has become a bit of a one-on-one challenge between Talia and myself. You see, if she manages to get one arm free from her bundle, she inevitably gets the other arm free (ala Houdini escaping from a straight jacket), and then she gets all out-of-control of her limbs and starts crying. If I swaddle her just right, though, she doesn't even attempt to escape, and she stays in Slumberland. So far, I think she's winning, but I think I'm getting better. We've taken to calling her "Houdini". It's pretty funny, after I think I've gotten her all locked-in, then the next thing you know there's a hand up at her mouth, and then the tiny fingers of her other hand.
In all, we are on Cloud 9 with our adorable new addition. Sorry it's taken so long to provide an update. Photos to follow!

What up! Nice going, the little betty is sandwiched in between our birthdays. We'll have to take her to a disco bar one of these days to celebrate all of our b-days together . . .
