Our baby girl arrived at 12:20 am on Sept. 16. Her name is Kira Jane Barnes-Marra and she was 7 lbs. 4 oz., 19 1/2 inches long.
“Kira” means light; sun in Latin, Persian and Japanese and “Jane” is just a nice, classic name – (according to the meaning I found it means: gracious, merciful, God is gracious in Hebrew).
She is a lot tinier than we were expecting, because Steve and I were both over 8 lbs., but then I was 2 weeks late. We had to stop and get an infant car seat because she was too small for the one I had researched and purchased that was “supposed” to be ok for kids 5 lbs. – 65 lbs. Oh well!
ANYWAY. We came home yesterday and I am (of course) exhausted, but were all doing fine. Steve finally got some sleep, so at least one of us can be sane this week. =)
We’ll post more pictures here that Steve took. He has some really great shots, but he has to sort them first.
