So happy to hear the news! She seems so big (compared to my babies who were 7 lbs) but so much smaller than Khena was!
I can attest to this: having 3 boys and then a girl has been nothing short of delightful. I just know that the joys you have ahead can’t be described! Enjoy her!!! I’m melting just looking at the photos.

Félicitations ! Bienvenue au monde à ta précieuse petite fille. Vous êtes toute les deux superbes !
Oh congratulations! So excited for you, and looking forward to the story. I bet you’re not surprised she’s a girl; it sounded like this pg was a bit different from the others.
Your new baby is beautiful and you look radiant! Congratulations! I am 40 weeks now and waiting for my big day to arrive. My midwife asked me what I want to do with my placenta…Thanks for the info on encapsulating. Gen also offered to store it in her freezer til the spring when we could plant it. I am still not sure what to do.
Take care and enjoy every second of this new life.
Love Jesse
I love her name, I love the pictures, We are so happoy for you all! Thank you for the very informative pics and post about the placenta encapsulation, too–wish I would’ve done this with my babies!
Warmest wishes for a cozy time.
I have been away too long! Congratulations on your new little one! We had a “new” one 9 months ago, a little boy, Tadg William Michael. Your girl is beautiful!
I’m normally a lurker, but had to pop in and say congrats!
