Yesterday was Rosemary Wren's "official" due date. We had scheduled her induction on 4/16 but sometimes life happens while you are making other plans. In this case, literally, and we couldn't be happier!
Rosemary Wren was born at 1:05 p.m. on April 9 and was a healthy 7lbs, 3 ounces, our largest baby by far and was 19 inches long. She was alert, snuggly and has only cried when she wants to be fed (now that we are seasoned parents we realize this could change at any time but are counting our lucky stars).
Rosemary is in honor of Colin's maternal grandmother, Mary, a sweet, adventurous, down to earth spirit who passed away several years ago and Rose, my Russian maternal great, great grandmother, a mother of ten children.
Wren honors of one of my dearest friends, Saskia Wren Loewy, who was my housemate senior year. I hope that she will be a role model to Rosemary Wren because she is one of the most intelligent, fearless, gracious and cosmopolitan women I have ever met. She is currently living in Tel Aviv (one of her many tours abroad) but I can't wait to introduce RW to her namesake. Also Wren reminds me of the main building at William and Mary, the Wren Building where I fell in love with Colin right before I graduated.
