Josephine Alexandra Glassenberg was born December 6, 2010, at 4:07 am. She weighed 8 lbs. 5 ounces, 21 inches long. Labor was really fast (we arrived at the hospital at 3:05 am and she was born an hour later). This was my first experience with natural childbirth and working with midwives. It was incredibly painful, but really wonderful, too.
We are home now and we are in love!

Congrats. Are you going to call her Josephine or Josie? My baby was born on Aug. 26, 2010. She is our second baby. Her name is Josie (just Josie…it’s not short for anything) So now we have two daughters. One is 11 yrs. and the other is 15 weeks.
Enjoy your new little one. I hope everyone adjusts smoothly.
