Three is the Magic Number

Hammie didn't make it easy for Lina. Serious contractions started at 2100 on the 24th and Hammie fought tooth and nail until she was literally pulled out nearly 22.5 hours later at 1921 on the 25th. (seriously though, the nurse attached a thing to what little was exposed of Hammie's head and yanked while Lina pushed like there was no tomorrow) Hammie came out a looking like a human blueberry or one of those lovable Smurfs as she was blue from head to toe. Once we got some oxygen into Hammie she took on a more human complexion and at 52 cm tall and a scale tipping 3.88 kg she became the cutest baby every (I'm a bit biased of course).
As you can probably tell we haven't settled on a name so it's Hammie for now. We've decided to try out a few of the names in our arsenal over the next few days and we'll let you know which one she likes best.
