Just a quick note to announce the birth of Fionnuala Grace Moore – our first child.
She arrived over a month early amid much excitement and worry (details on request), but she and Buendia are both doing well. Finn is in the Special Care unit at UNM Hospital in Albuquerque, but she weighs 4 pounds and is in good form, so she’s not in any danger, and should soon be leaving (with perhaps a brief stay at St Vincents in Santa Fe, nearer home).
(A quick note on her name (especially for those outside Ireland) – Fionnuala is pronounced Finoola (more or less) and is an Irish name meaning ‘fair shouldered one’ – we’ll probably shorten it to Finn most of the time).
More news early next week, when I’ll be back in Santa Fe for a at least some of the time.
Obligatory cute photos to follow.
