6 weeks old - memories of week 3

Dear Maya,

occasionally I forget if you are a boy or girl..lol.. not when I'm with you, but we got so accustomed to not knowing that it's a surprise to know all over again.

So Mummy thought she knew you were a girl..why?

Well a good 75+% of people were "sure" you were a boy.. something about the way Mummy was carrying..

I warned them all that everyone thought I was a boy when Granny was carrying me..

The other little things that made Mummy wonder were:

- Auntie Nikhila, Julina and Ady are all having boys just after you, so the laws of probability pointed to you being a girl, and

- whenever we went for an ultrasound, no one seemed worried enough that we would see a penis..

And THEN during our labour, the OB resident said "push her out".. then said it again..yes, ok this last one was a little more definitive, and fortunately Mummy was too tired to yell "did you say her?"

All in all, we are sooo happy you are you, our perfect Maya Grace.

Here are some pictures and memories from Week 3 of life:

We took you on your first stroller ride to let Daddy vote.. this is the election where President Obama was elected for his second term of office and we are so proud that you could be part of this.

Shedding the last of your skin, and beginning of baby acne.. so beautiful.

Learning to use a pacifier, which is almost as big as you are :)
