On this day in history...

8 weeks ago today

this little babe was born:


labored at home for a little while. this picture was obviously taken in those 6 minutes between contractions and reflects my happiness at the prospect of no longer being pregnant:


We were all pretty excited...


...especially this girl...




..we named her after this fine lady...





 ...and we had some visitors...



...cheeks were kissed...








...and I suddenly felt like a real mom, with these two treasures.






Jill Elisabeth, born July 24, 2012 at 6:30 pm. 8 weeks old, going strong and we just love having her as part of our clan.

 

Our family now feels a little more complete.

  3. What an absolutely beautiful family!!! I'm wondering how come you don't look weary, strangely bloated, or gray and miserable after delivering your sweet baby. I always looked really scary. You look beautiful. You need to email me and tell me what you named your lovely new little daughter. I hope you're doing well!
