Hiro
Hiro Marie Kobayashi was born at 12:36 pm on Friday April 7, 2000. 8 pounds 4 ounces - 20" long. Healthy, happy, and beautiful.Hiro - was the name of her Japanese Great-Grandmother.
Marie - was her Ukrainian Great-Grandmother.
Birthin' babies is hard. But we had a great team, talking and cracking jokes. Even Snowy joined in, right up to the last push - almost. She was incredible.
When Hiro finally came out, doc put her right up on Snow's tummy. It was a while before anyone remembered to check her sex. Then I cut the cord.
Hiro knew us right away. With the nurses handling her she'd cry and cry, but as soon as I touched her or spoke to her, she'd quiet right down and look at me, trying to focus. The same went for Snowy, of course. She couldn't focus either.
We cried and cried too.
