She was born on July 16 at 5:02 PM, weighing 7 pounds and 10 ounces, measuring 20 inches long. She mostly sleeps, but we feed her frequently (waking her up half the time to achieve this) because that's what the doctors and nurses told us is developmentally appropriate. Otherwise, she seems to possess the ability to sleep 24 hours a day. She makes funny squealing sounds when she's sleeping.
Monavar Marie is named after two grandmothers. Monavar (emphasis on the last syllable) means "illumined".
We enjoy being with her so much -- spending our time in any other way pales in comparison. We have been up all hours of the night for several days now due to the diaper changes and every-other-hour feedings, and we need to catch up on sleep. Our doctor joked that this would happen only after the baby goes to kindergarten, due to the all-consuming nature of caring for small children.
