Our Newest Family Member, Part Deux


Fooled ya for a minute!  I can't claim her as my own.  Believe me I totally would if given the chance.  Isn't she precious, sweet and entirely kissable?  She's also the biggest baby our family has seen in over 3 years. 

Meet Hannah-Joy.  She became my very first niece last night.  She weighs 8 lbs, 1 oz and is 21 inches long.  I now know why my sister-in-law Amanda was in so much discomfort.  This kid weighs about the same as Zoe did when she was 5 months old.  Amanda basically gave birth to a 5 month old.  That's totally impressive when you think about it.

Congratulations Brian and Amanda.  I can't think of two more deserving parents.  You both struggled to have H-J (is it alright that I call her that?).  I love seeing how God has blessed your life.  Having a daughter is one of the best blessings that has ever happened to N and me.  We treasured it so much we had three!

Enjoy the diaper changes, the feedings, the spit up, all the laundry and each moment you can count her fingers and toes again.  In a very short time she'll wipe off your kisses, learn the word "no" and make you laugh with her ideas.  Congrats mommy and daddy.  She's absolutely perfect.  Love you all.
