Miriam has arrived!

As I'm sure most of you have heard by now, Miriam Ruth Reyes has arrived.  She was born on Friday, March 11 at 9:36 am, measuring 6 lbs. 12 oz. and 19.25". 

She is an incredible baby, and we already can barely remember life before her arrival!  (We also can barely remember what day it is, but we are pretty sure that is due to the lack of sleep we are experiencing as new parents.)  Similar to her behavior in the womb, Miriam is a very calm and quiet baby, who only fusses when having her diaper changed, getting a shot or needing to eat.  She has been very observant from her first day and spends 10-30 minutes after every feeding just staring around her with her eyes wide open.  We are absolutely fascinated by her and totally in love with her, and spend hours every day just watching her sleep, holding her and listening to her little noises.  We now realize that when new parents can't get anything done, it is more due to the amount of time spent staring at the baby, rather than a lack of sleep.  We are enjoying every second of being parents and are documenting it all.  In just a little over a week, we've got almost 1,000 photos of her and lots of video.  Here are a couple of photos:
