Goodbye for a while

Sanaya Rose Lakdawalla was born on April 23, 2009 at 03:01 Pacific time, weighing 6 pounds 11 ounces and measuring 19 and 3/4 inches long. (Baby measurements, like temperatures, are one of those few things where I just can't bring myself to think metric. Google tells me this is 3,033 grams and 50 centimeters.)

As for me, I'll be at home with both of my daughters, taking care of them and helping us all adjust to our new roles. My universe is suddenly going to be very small, much smaller than the spaces I usually explore. But as I am far less terrified about the whole business than I was the first time around, I figure that I will not be able to keep myself from reading and watching all of our robot emissaries push the boundaries of what we know. I'll be tuning in to this blog now as a reader, waiting impatiently for each day's installment.
