drum roll please . . .

FINALLY!!!

we are so excited to announce the long awaited arrival of the newest member to our family . . .






Beatrice Harper

after much waiting she came quickly into this world with no complications on october 15th at 9:30 in the morning. she weighed a healthy 8 lbs 7 oz and was about 20 inches long. She is a content little girl with a big appetite and is so far a good sleeper. Henry is taking to her well and likes to snuggle her head and repeatedly says, "hi, bea. hi, bea." we can tell he is going to be a fantastic big brother.

so far i have been amazed at how much more relaxed and calm matt and i are this go 'round! and my recovery seems to be going a little quicker and we are definitely getting more sleep than we did with henry. (hope i'm not jinxing myself).

i imagine i will be lying low for a little while popping in and out of this space, so i want to thank all of you for your kind wishes and messages. they were so appreciated and put a warm feeling in my heart. thank you all for being here and sharing the anticipation and excitement with us. we couldn't be happier and i look forward to sharing more with you all in the coming weeks!
