Introducing Max Elliot!

Max Elliot was born on Wednesday, July 18!  He entered the world via water birth at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi.  Everything went very smoothly and both he and Rachel are doing well.  We were very fortunate to have Lucy, an incredible doula, accompany us to the hospital and help through the labor and delivery (see the third picture).  Bibi stayed with Nani at home, which was a tremendous help, and both were able to come visit at the hospital on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons for a few hours.  We brought Max home on Friday and have enjoyed getting to know the newest member of our family.  Our apologies for not getting any pictures posted until now as internet nationwide has been mostly down over the past few days and we also had a power outage at our house lasting over 48 hours.
