Abuela Loreto's visit

Luckily, Abuela Loreto was here when Max was born to help out. She took Zoe to the park and when they came back, Zoe had a baby brother!

First month

Max is a calm and relaxed baby boy (so far), with blue eyes and just a bit of dark brown straight hair. He looks a lot like Zoe when she was first born...which is to say he looks a lot like Dan (just like Zoe did)...

Max is born!!

We are happy to announce that Max Giovanni Emmett Schiappacasse was born on March 15th, exactly his due date, at 9:57 am (Rome time) at home after a very quick delivery. He weighs 3.1 kg (7 lbs) and is 53 cm (21 inches) long and is doing very well. Amy is recovering very nicely, and so far Zoe seems thrilled with her baby brother.


Zoe is keeping Mama company while Amy uses her yoga poses to help her with the early contractions (two hours before birth). Zoe then went to the park with her Abuela when labor got underway.


The pediatrician came to the house to do the initial exam. Everything was fine.



Max sleeping soundly.
