Black is the color of my True Love's hair
After 36 hours of labor (sorry, "surges"), my sis had a baby girl weighing 6lbs 12 oz (ish) and 20 3/4 inches long. She was born at 7:01 a.m. on October 9, 2004. She has a baby head topped with black baby hair. By the time I touched down in Austin and made it to the hospital she was a little more than 12 hours old and she finally had a name; Magdelena Anežka (That's a "hot czech" over the "z").
As I'm holding her in my arms, looking at her baby face looking at me and realizing the simple act of breathing for her is new and wondrous, she is so warm and lovely and everything escapes my brain except her and the sure knowledge of the following:
There is a God.
This is true love.
Welcome to the world Little Magda.

What beautiful words. It is exactly what I would have written if I were as eloquent.
