As of Thursday afternoon, all of us were home from the hospital. Myrna was a brave soul, with ultrasounds of her brain, tummy and hips - all which are completely in tact and properly developed, despite her early entrance. Then she had her final examination by the pediatrician and all his medical school students. By lunch time, we were all at home, starting to get back to "normal" (as if we know what normal is). This Thanksgiving was of course a bit different, but we enjoyed some difficult to find sweet potatoes with a healthy week old bundle of joy and a very loving, helpful Grandmother.
And, I don't believe we have written about her name. We had yet to decide on a middle name, though when I left the hospital we had to start the paperwork trail associated to her birth. So this Thanksgiving we gave thanks for our own little holiday miracle - Myrna Sofia Burkhalter (though she has enjoyed a stint as Myrna Jabbusch at the UniKlinik).

Look who is rocking the sling! I love it! Congratulations! - Abigail
Alright, someone has to bring it up. Her middle name is not Fred? Heh...
So -- Myrna is the first firstborn of a firstborn of a firstborn of a firstborn of a firstborn Burkhalter to avoid being saddled with "Fred"
I want to know how she pulled that one off!!!
I guess we coulda given her Frida, but that woulda been back-to-back two-syllable names ending in "a".
I must add to the other side of the firstborn discussion. Myrna is also the firstborn of a firstborn of a firstborn of a firstborn of a firstborn on her mother's side, all of them daughters and none who have " Fred" or any resemblance to that name in their identities. Barbara
