The Baby is Here

by Jordan on June 20, 2008

This is just a quick post to let you all know that Marie had the baby! Our little baby girl was born Wednesday evening and both mom and baby are doing great. Marie was amazing before, during, and after the birth. I’d also like to give a big shout out to Steph, Marie’s sister, who helped out during the birth. I almost passed out several times, so it was nice to have some help ;)

I’m sure that Marie will be posting more details later, but for now she’ll be taking a little break. Here are some pictures of the new babe for your viewing pleasure:

Thanks again for all of your support!

Oh! Congratulations! She is just lovely.

By the Way, we are thoroughly enjoying our “grapesicles” as my kids call them — and have even done frozen pineapple pops.

Thanks for all your great ideas and good luck over the next little while!

WOW! Good news travels fast, Holt. I checked your blog this morning to see if there were any updates on the babe, and Viola! Jordan had posted…

So glad we have the blogosphere to keep us in the loop…

Beautiful! Just beautiful… the baby, you. What a blessed miracle that bundle of joy is.

Can’t wait to hear about your journey!!! I’m so proud of you!
