STILL. PREGNANT.

Just kidding. I'm not. Wouldn't that be crazy? She's here and she's beautiful. And big. And incredibly cute. More soon.

Tuesday Jan 19 at 7:24 AM
9 lbs 5 oz
21 inches

I'd forgotten how wonderful/terrifying/miraculous the whole process is. Were you praying for us? We felt it.

Thank you.

Nikki said...: Yeah hurray!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!! I tried to call your mom today. But no one was home. And I got an answering machine, but I wasn't certain it was the right number because I didn't recognize the male voice. But there were options like, "Press 1 for the lady of the house..." or something to that effect. Was that the right number? Hmm... Anyhow, I'll try again tomorrow. Then I'll just call my parents to have them look up the right number. lol
