Baby Graham Kenwwod

Graham Kenwood, in both name and looks, you are quite a distinguished little fellow. May your whole life be as easy and smooth as your birth (and slightly less exciting).

Welcome Baby Graham, we are so glad to have you here!



May all babies be born into loving hands...

Baby Isabel Rose

Babies are sweet, and soft, and lovely, and the hope of humanity, and...
Babies are a lot of work

Birth is natural, and healthy, and safe, and a wondrous journey, and...
Birth is a lot of work

Isabel Rose, you are all of those things and so much more.  
Izzy, you are worth all the work and so much more.

Welcome Baby Isabel!

Baby Isabelle Marie

Isabelle was born at home as planned. From the moment she was born, her heart was strong and steady. Her breathing? Not so much. 

So a lovely home birth was followed quickly by midwifery stablization, an ambulance ride, an Emergancy Department visit, another ambulance ride, a 20 day NICU stay, then, finally a wailing, screaming, tear-streaming car-seat-encased drive back home. 

Whew! That is a lot for a little girl to experience in her first three weeks on earth.

In spite of all that, Isabelle is doing just fine!

Welcome Baby Isabelle.
Thank you for being so calm (usually) and sweet (always). Thank you especially for (finally) learning to breath so well.

Baby Naruto Thurston

Naruto Thurston. What a name! Asian and British. Modern and old fashioned. Energetic and sedate.

And the little baby that goes with this interesting name? Well, he is only interested in one thing and it is not his name!

Welcome Baby Naruto!

Baby Dexter Messineo

Newborn Dexter Messineo has a lot to express: happiness, sadness, irritatation, confusion... 

Perhaps he spent his prenatal time learning fine points of communication from his big sister?

Welcome Baby Dexter!
