WELCOME!!

SHE FINALLY CAME!

After so much waiting, so many trials and tribulations, we welcome Julianna Alyse Mallow into our world. She was born yesterday, January 28, 2009, at 4:17am. She was 8 lbs, 8 oz and 20 in. long. I wish I could provide her a better world today, but that's a bit out of my hands. Anyway, here are a few shots of her wondrous beauty. :-)

That's her with her loving mommy. Then there's this one, with her proud daddy:

Then just one of her in her little hospital bassinet:

By the way, that very first pic, up at the top of this post? That's my favorite so far. Her birth was quite an adventure...head over to Heidi's blog and get the whole story. Some day I might provide the episode from MY perspective, but hers is good for now. Hope you're all having as good a week as I am! If not, well, the weekend's coming soon! Thanks for reading along.
