Maya Audrey Hampton

After heading to Utah for the two week early birth of my granddaughter, Alice, I was awakened early on November 2, 2009 by my sister who happened to be in labor a month early! Her husband and son had swine flu and were not allowed in the hospital. So I packed my bag and drove to Portland. When I got there at about 1:30 p.m. Kasis was looking great.

By 5:01 p.m. Maya Audrey Hampton was born. I thought Alice was tiny but Maya weighed only 4 lbs. 8 oz.!!!

After taking a few deep breaths she wasn't this deep shade of greyish purple and was nice and pink!!

As you can see she was tiny and looks just like her big brother, Miles.

The nurse was amazed at how well Maya did. She didn't have to go to the NICU because she weighed 50 grams over the cut off.

Kasia was glad it was so fast and over with so quickly!

This is a good photo to see how tiny she is!

She was just 11 inches around her chest.

This is a photo with my hand on her. I couldn't believe she was so tiny!!!

Look at her little hand!

This was Maya's first bath. She didn't like it much!

We all loved the blanket Grandma Cherye brought from Montana.

Grandma Cherye got to the hospital about an hour after Maya was born. She was mad that she missed it all! But now she can help Kasia even more since she still can't take baby Maya home as everyone is still sick! I didn't even get to see Miles. Sad! Get well soon so everone can be together.
