Our Daughter came in to this world OR she came out in to this world via water birth as the sun changed the dark into light on Saturday.
SORRY PHOTOS WILL NOT LOAD AT THIS TIME
Maravia Jahleel Rose Satterfield (you can call her Maravia)
was born Saturday,May 20, 2006
@5:30 A.M.
weighed 8 lb. 20z.
21 inches long

She was born at home attended by Robert, Jessica's mom, sister, sister-in-law and a Doctor and Midwife. The support team was amazing; the mother and child even more so! The Labor lasted 12 hrs. and Mother (and Father) and baby girl are doing well. Moravia was born with a head full of My(Robert) hair, cheeks that lay over on her chest, huge hands and Hobbit feet.

As you can see she has above average inteligence and and is giving talks about her experiences and journey so far. If you are not getting the same vib from the photo that I am, you can at least tell she is beautiful. Each of her names has a special meaning which we will explain in a Future posting.

A CAT

Here are some pictures of our cat, Chira, which is short for "Chiropractor", because she needs one. She always walks or sits with her head on slightly crooked. When she is trying to be cute, like if she thinks we will let her inside to sleep on the soft couch because it is raining, then she tilts her head even more to the side until it is almost upside down.

She is a funny cat. Once, I put a leftover shrimp in her food dish, only to find her trying to paw it out with this look on her face that said, "Stupid humans to put something so disgusting in my dish of yummy dry cat food!" She has tolerated tuna fish juice, but the tuna fish itself is just too ghastly---what self-respecting cat would eat that stuff? She does catch and eat mice, after we have admired them sufficiently, of course.

Sometimes I think we vent our baby-hungry arms on this poor defenseless cat, which does NOT amuse her. I think she will be glad to get a little less attention once the baby comes, but it is still nice to find her waiting in the driveway for us no matter what time we come home.
