Baby Mina is here!

And now we are 3!

My husband and I are so pleased to announce the birth of our daughter (our first baby) Mina Emza Uphill who was born Saturday, January 17th. Our days (and nights) are now filled with the most amazing love and new born snuggles. Mina is a calm, happy, and sweet baby- we couldn't ask for anything more. She is perfect!

Mina is the first grandchild for both our parents. Here is my dad holding Mina right after birth. Some of you may remember him- Bill Seib of the former Bill's Chair Caning & Rushing right here in Clintonville. He retired a number of years ago. He is smitten with Mina and loves his new role as grandpa.

We had a slightly extended stay in the hospital for her light therapy treatment due to jaundice. It was hard to have her next to us, but not able to hold her often. Luckily after 3 nights we were released and her jaundice is clearing up and no longer in the dangerous range.

My Quality Control specialist (our house rabbit Bruna) has taken her time to meet the new addition to the family, but slowly and surely they are becoming best buds.

Mina is getting a lot of use out of the family bassinet that I repaired and restored this past summer and fall. Check out the restoration HERE.

We just can't get over how content and chill this new little lady is.
