Date of Birth: April 25, 2008 (3:42 p.m.) Place of Birth: Orange Coast Memorial Hospital; Fountain Valley, California Weight: 10 Pounds, 11 Ounces Length: 23 Inches ![]() Just a few minutes old. Still unnamed. ![]() As promised, we wait until we see the baby before we name it. But then it comes... Zoe. ![]() Val's parents with Val and Zoe. They, too, are stunned that Val gave birth to such a large baby... vaginally. Val's mother's name is Crystal and the first half of Zoe's middle name. ![]() My mother with Zoe. My mother's name is Victoria and the second half of Zoe's middle name. My father has a cold, and doesn't want to give it to Zoe, so he's only seen her from a distance and has yet to hold her. And it's KILLING him! ![]() In the first 36 hours, Zoe did two things: cry and sleep. But when she does cry, it sounds like a pterodactyl and her bottom jaw quivers and is the cutest damn thing. ![]() To give Val some rest, I'd park Zoe on me to calm her down and put her in sleep mode. Even works at home. ![]() See, told you. Zoe on my chest equals easy, sleep time. And yes, that's a giraffe's head on her butt. ![]() Though you can't see it in this picture, her eyes have gone from gray to navy blue. We'll see what color see ends up with. ![]() Val and Zoe sacked out at home. They've earned this nap. ![]() Why the name Zoe? In Greek, "Zoe" means "Life." When she was born, at that moment, she became my life... she became my Zoe. ![]() |
