Thanks to everyone for the kind emails and comments on the birth of my daughter. Several folks have asked for photos and more details…so here goes:
Danica Agnes Maus (we call her Dani)
9lbs. 5oz. and 21" long
It was by far the most intense experience of my life. The only thing I can even compare it to is the final laps of a long, hard crit…with a lap counter that seemed to never budge.
… and like bike racing, the reward far outweighs the effort…don’t you think?
thaaat’s the good stuff. congratulations jonathan (and to that lady, too – i hope she was there for you in those tough final laps!)
Thanks Todd. Juli was like a valiant racer that just keeps launching attacks just when you think they can’t possibly have anything left.

What a cutie! Does she look like either of you yet?
she looks like him; you can see them juxtaposed at jonathan’s other blog: http://just-riding-along.typepad.com/
Was wondering when you’d post that special gem!
She sure looks like you, Jon Jon. Adorable.

No worries though, there was still plenty of hot cocoa and cookies waiting for us at Laurelhurst Park. […]
[…] Today we’re having a party for my daughter Danica. It’s hard to believe but she turned one year-old last week. Since I announced her birth and her first-ever bike ride on this site, I thought I’d share a few photos of her first bikey year. Here’s Danica and her sister Eleni crashed out in the trailer with the Fremont bridge in the background. […]
