Ainara Maria Susan Nerad-Canet

Ainara Maria Susan Nerad-CanetPlease allow me to introduce you to Ainara. Mother and daughter are doing well after the birth. Ainara has a touch of red hair and a healthy set of lungs and it’s a cliché, but she’s just the cutest little thing. She was born at 7:41PM on the 15th at 7lbs 7ounces and 20 3/4 inches. From the moment Rosa broke her water to birth was 19.5 hours, with only the last hour being the pushing.

For those curious, her name is Basque for the bird we call a swallow in English. Maria is for Rosa (the mother of Ainara whose middle name is Maria) and Rosa’s own mother, who is also named Rosa Maria. Susan is my Mom’s name. We decided to do the family name in the Spanish fashion, where the father’s surname goes first, followed by the mother’s.

We’re exhausted but exhilarated. More to follow as we’re even able to come up for air!

    I’m a little upset that you didn’t go with “Little Monkey.” I thought that was already a given. Rupricta?

    I can’t wait to meet her! She was a bit of wait but I think she didn’t want to go on another late night trek up the hill from 20th and Valencia to 20th and Delores… LOL So it wasn’ just me. Welcome little one see ya soon! Tio Juanito

    Thanks Everyone! It’s been quite an experience; one that won’t end for quite a long time.

    @Scott: We thought about Rupricta but it didn’t have the proper nuance. However, if we every have a boy I’ll put Ruprict on the list of names!
