It's a girl!


We're delighted to announce the arrival of our beautiful new daughter, Simone Graciela Springborn Brannigan! Simone was born on Tuesday, September 13, at 5:54 AM - she weighed in at 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 20 inches in length. She has dark blue eyes (though most babies tend to have blue eyes to start, so we'll see how they turn out), a fair amount of brown hair, and is generally a happy, healthy baby! Labor lasted just under 9 hours and went very smoothly, with no interventions - our midwife, doula, and labor nurse were a pleasure to work with.

We're slowly adjusting to the challenges of first-time parenthood - it really is a lot of work, and sleep is at a premium! But we're loving every minute of it, and we're enjoying watching Simone grow every day :) These are a couple of our favorite photos, and while our website is currently not updated (as of 9/27), we're hoping to get more pictures of her up there in the next few weeks.
