Madeline Deanna Steinkamp

"Little Maddie D"

"Before my body dies,
I pray
That the river I was born to
Will again wash over me."

Getting prepped.  I thought it was funny that in the high tech operating room, the drape was held to the frame by an ordinary wooden clothes pin.  I wonder if those are autoclaveable?

Madeline born.  (Andrea said no gory shots, so I took a picture of the clock at that exact moment...)

Two minutes old.

Who is that masked man, and what is he doing with my child!?

Proud Grandparents - Dara, Jack, and Arnold.

7 Pounds, 10.1 ounces.  Juicy.

Having a snooze.

Virginia's first visit.  It's always nice to meet new people.

Big smiles!

More snoozing.

She looks kind of familiar...
