Well, here I am...and I bring with me the beginning of the new and improved Bage Family. I was born on April 12 (Easter) at 11:51 pm. Momma, Daddy, and Memphis named me Marylou Mickey. Momma and Daddy picked the Marylou part, and Memphis picked Mickey.
Momma's labor was not too too long (about 10 hours from the time her water broke to the time I was born). She only pushed 5 times - I was out in less than 10 minutes!
I weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces (seen here) and was 19 inches long. Momma and Daddy couldn't believe how small I looked compared to my big brother Memphis when he was born (he was almost 9 pounds!). I guess that's what happens when you decide to come out three weeks early.
Look - while my hair was still wet Momma and Daddy wondered if it would be curly like Momma's. Maybe...
Momma and Daddy stuck a photo of Memphis in my tank so I would recognize him when he came to visit me - and he would know who I was too. It said "I'm Marylou's BIG BROTHER!"
