She's Here

At about 11:30 am on Saturday, November 18, 2006, Charlotte's water broke, so we went in to the hospital to have out baby girl (we've known for several months that it was a girl). At around 12:40 am, Sunday, the decision was made that the baby needed to come out by Cesarean Section (major surgery). She was born at 1:16 am on Sunday, November 19, 2006, wighing in at 6 lbs. 10.3 oz.(see the photos) and measuring 19.5 inches in length. Both mother an baby are well.

Charlotte stayed in the hospital for two days to recover from the surgery. Both mother and daughter came home in the afternoon of Tuesday, November 21, 2006.

Here are some photos and details.

Update 2006/11/21

Last night, Charlotte & I settled on the name for our first baby. Her name is Nadia Marie Peterson. She is in excellent health.

Charlotte has been recovering very well. The staples were taken out this morning and both mother and child will be coming home this afternoon.

This photo of us, was taken by Lamont's maternal Grandmother, Merle Boles, at her orchard in Weiser, Idaho. It is one from about thirty taken that day at Grandma & Grandpa's.

Welcome

Currently, like most personal sites, this one is incomplete. Our photos site is online at http://lamontpeterson.org/photos/. Lamont's & Charlotte's sections are both works in progress (which is probably a permanent condition). We frequently revise these pages.
