On December 20th at 8:58, Tessa Jane was born! She waited sensibly until the whole family was free of illness and the roads were clear of snow. Weighing in at a whopping 8 lbs 15 oz, our little Bruin Hilda has surprised most of us (motherly intuition be damned) by being firstly a girl, secondly huge, and thirdly the most mellow and laid back (maybe even stoic) baby we've certainly ever had in our house.
Thank you, Santa, for our precious Christmas ham. Happy birthday, Tess!
