Announcing

Kira (KEAR-uh) Janine McMillan on 3/20/10, 7 lbs 7 oz, 19.75 inches. Heidi and I left home for Kaiser Walnut Creek in the early, early Saturday morning because Hedi started having contractions. Due to Heidi's group B strep, she was given antibiotics that needed at least 4 hours in the system. At about 8:00 am Saturday morning, Heidi's water was broken and Kira was born at 1:28 pm. We had originally thought that if we were having a girl, her name would be Brynn.

When Kira came out, she didn't look like a Brynn and we had to decide on which name fit her. We chose Janine to be her middle name because it is my Mom's birthday and her name is Janine.

The nurses got a kick out my RC helicopter that I was flying in the labor and delivery room, and Heidi seemed to tolerate it. We checked out of the hospital at 3:30 and are home now! Sweet. Now here are some pictures of the latest addition to the McMillan clan.

Oh boy oh boy! How cool. What a little angel too. I loved the comments about flying the RC chopper. I'll bet they don't get that a lot in the hospital. They need a little relief sometimes. Hope you get a little sleep in the next few months. We're so glad for you!

She is Darling... Those cheeks are to die for... Yummy, I bet they smell good like perfect baby skin... I wish I could find a good way to tease you that Brynn would have been a great name... But, Kira fits her so well... Congrats guys....
