sweetness

Here's a better glimpse at our little lady. So far, things have been pretty dreamy. I will be sure to write more later, but right now having my mother and mother-in-law here are tuckering me out more than a newborn!

An introduction is in order

Let me please introduce you to Nora James.

She came into this world at 11:37 p.m. on June 12th, weighing a respectable 6 lbs 14.5 ounces.

We love her so much it hurts.

I've said it before - this blog has been so wonderful to me. When we were struggling to start our family, it was such a necessary outlet and strong source of support. And after we were fortunate enough to move past that trying time, it has been a space to share such happiness.
So thank you.

I was hoping that I could impose on you once again . . .

I'm in the process of putting together a bit of a playlist to get me through labor and those first couple of sleepless weeks. A sort of soothing soundtrack for both me and the babe.

I could really use your help.

If you have any suggestions for songs I would welcome them with open arms!

thanks.

Full Term

A few days ago, we reached a milestone -- This babe is full term.

I cannot tell you how happy I am to have reached this point.

Now if we could only decide on a name.
