We Have Her!!!

She's perfect! We are in love!









Can't write too much. Still processing. It all happened so fast. She's sleeping now. Haven't even changed her diaper or fed her yet! She didn't cry. She's a thumb sucker. All 7 of the babies came with colds. Aside from her cold, she appears to be healthy. Two bottom teeth, two top teeth just coming in. She LOVES to be held!
I have much much more to report! It's been a wonderful day. We just love her so much!

Dear Lucy, George and Magnolia,

I've just seen your first family pictures (9:38 AM- checked earlier but they were not up yet, then went to the gym.)

What absolute joy. Magnolia, you are the dearest thing and you have made your parents happier than I've ever seen them! Thank goodness you are all finally together. Congratulations!

Like, Emily, your union brings me much peace. You will hear from me again very soon. I'm going to make a round of ecstatic phone calls.

Until the next comment I send all of you all of my love!

Mom and I are just now able to get on the INternet to see this wonderful news!!! Magnolia is beautiful, and we love the photos of you all together...at last!!!

We know you must be on Cloud Nine, and all of this is still sinking in. But it is all true, all of it, forever.

omg, the pool is so cool. i really think the room is neat too and what fun it must be to have that view. oh, i almost forgot...Magnolia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she touches our hearts from so far away - how special for us to have a glimpse of your first meeting. She looks so happy to see you - almost as if you've only just been gone for a trip and she is welcoming you back. We are of course thrilled, proud, and deeply touched. Can't wait to meet her and can't wait to hear more...

With lots of love,

Congratulations!! What is so neat to me is that because of your blog I really feel like I have been on this journey with you. When I saw the pictures this morning, I cried with the joy you have been experiencing. Can't wait to see her and to get the next blog installment. The picture of the 3 of you is my new screen saver.

Congratulations Lucy! Mary called me this afternoon to tell me that you have Magnolia! She gave me your blog info...I sat and read your story, and looked at the pictures of your new, gorgeous baby girl...with happy tears streaming down my face!

I am SO happy for your family of 3!!!

OMG- She is quite possibly the most beautiful baby!! Of course we all fell in love with her referral pictures but to see her now in your arms is quite amazing. I just can't get over those chubby yummy cheeks and legs. She seems very content and happy and healthy. I can't wait to hear all the details of this amazing experience. What a beautiful family you are!!! Lots of love- Aunt MAry

You are such a beautiful family! I logged on early this morning and you had not posted yet. I have had a busy day and was so happy to see your pics earlier and am finally leaving a comment. The first photos with her are so special, I am so glad that you have them - whoever you found to do it did a superb job! You both look so at peace and filled with joy! I am so EXCITED for you! Lucy, you look absolutely radiant - just like a new mother! :)
Love to you all from Christine, Tom and Charlie

More, more,more...tell us how your day has gone. I can't get through the day without checking your blog every other hour or so.

How did you sleep? What did Magnolia eat for breakfast and lunch? Did she seem to expect to see you when she woke up?

You know of course that I think she is pure enchantment.

Has she "said" anything?

Much love,

Momla
