Baby Zayd

10:45pm Zayd is pronounced just as it looks, and rhymes with "jade." It is Arabic for "abundance," which is fitting considering the number of beautiful, perfect children we've been blessed with. I also thought it was fitting that it was a "Z" name, with "Z" signifying the last. We wanted an "ay" name to fit the theme we inadvertantly had going - Layla, Layth, Maya, Rayan, Zayd. I never even realized they all had an "ay" until my mom pointed it out after Rayan was born, except for Mina, who was technically Yasmin, and the "ya" was close enough. :-)

1:45pm Baby Zayd is here! Baby Zayd made his entrance kicking and screaming at 12:48pm via C-section, weighing in at a whopping 10 pounds even and measuring 21 1/2 inches long. We think he's beautiful, of course. He has the same coloring as most of our other children and the same brown hair. I'm a little dopey on morphine at the moment, so more later. Thank you all for your love and support!!

BTW, how do you pronounce "Zayd"?(My brother-in-law was mispronouncing Brason's name for a year before he finally heard it right, and I still have friends who stress the wrong syllable on Braelyn's name, so I don't want to be saying your baby's name wrong!)

Hope you're feeling okay! Did you get an abdominal support band? (Seriously, that thing can make the difference between crying every time you move and happily pushing baby in a stroller around the block.)

Looking forward to pictures!
Love,
Jeanne
