Our Baby Girl is Here!

Friends, I couldn’t wait to share our good news with you!  Our baby girl came early, on February 18th and we got to bring her home on Saturday, which happened to be my birthday!  This is seriously the best birthday present ever! 

6 pounds, 10 ounces   
She is doing so well and is healthy and thriving and very peaceful so far!  Big brother is also smitten and I have to thank our friends and family, who are going above and beyond to be helpful right now, bringing meals and showering us with love.  It’s such a sweet, sweet time in our lives.  
Y’all have been so supportive and encouraging throughout this pregnancy, and I’m truly thankful to be able to share our newest family member with you.  I’m feeling ultra protective and vulnerable right now and just want to keep her close to my chest at all times.  I’m sure we’ll reveal her name in due time, but for now, it’s baby steps for this mama.  I guess it’s all part of the emotional process that goes along with pregnancy and childbirth making me feel like my heart could burst open at any moment and I need to go slow. I’m also recovering, so just taking it easy at home for now and will be back to blogging when I feel up to it (and the drugs wear off! 😉  Love you friends!
