Attention Comrades

Nadja says: "I wanna rock!" Fortunately we have a rocking chair.

Gifts

Gifts are definitely not necessary.

But if you really do want to get us something we prefer it either be handmade and personal (greatly preferred), or from our registry.

Thanks!

Things to Know about Nadja's name

Her name is pronounced Nadia (or Nadya), not Na-dzha. It is a proper American name -- as well as a proper Indian name, and a proper Polish name.

Devi is the Sanskrit word for Goddess, which is appropriate, since she happens to be one.

Stefanova is a patronymic. (No, Poles traditionally do not use patronymics. Poles also do not traditionally speak only English, embrace atheism, marry Indians, or have German friends. Her Daddy is not a typical Pole, though he may be somewhat typical for a Polish-American.)

Nicknames: Space Pumpkin, Princess Fussycat, Froggy Princess, Monkeybaby, Baby Super Burrito, Monster Truck, Angel Truck, Pixie Bean, Snooger Bee, Princesa, Snugglepuss

She's Here!

New photos!

We went in for another ultrasound today. This one was a "growth check" - apparently I'm smaller than average, but baby MT is not. She's 3 lbs - that's bigger than her uncle Raj was at birth! We're glad everything is ok and now we have more great pics to share. 

 Now that I'm in the 3rd trimester, I can attest that MT has earned her nickname. There's a whole lot of crashing around in there!

What a little doll! Check out that Cupid's Bow mouth :-)

Can't wait to meet her.
