Announcing...

So, I have this stack of darling birth announcements on my counter, next to the thank you cards that are written (but not addressed), bills that need to be filed, and every other something I tell myself I'll take care of the next time Adi takes a nap. I realized the other day that she really has been born (and not officially announced) for 6 weeks and 1 day now, not just the three weeks we've had her home. SO, in order to buy myself some time, I'm posting them here. It's ridiculous how much she's grown just since these were taken. She's 5 lbs, 5 oz in these pictures, and she now officially weighs 7.5 lbs. Crazy! But I've decided she's darling at any size. Tuesday I'm taking pictures since it's her official due date. Pretty sure I would have been delivering an 8 lb. baby had she made her debut on time. I'm secretly thankful we saved that event for a later date. Suddenly my Frankenstein C-section scar isn't looking so bad. The girl's definitely not a procrastinator like her mom (as you all await the announcement's paper version...)

Candis--she's a DOLL! I'm so happy for you! I have a little something for her, and was waiting for a shower invite, but I guess you didn't have one. I'll have to run it over. How exciting to have a new baby. I absolutely love it! McCoy will be 10 weeks on Monday and he's a whopping 12 lbs 14 oz and is almost 25 inches long. HOLY! Congrats again! *hugs*

wow Candis!!! I didn't even know you were expecting! That is so exciting, she is beautiful!!! I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and can't imagine the baby coming now. We need to catch up sometime.

She is absolutely beautiful--I'm so glad things worked out so well. I promise I'll keep my phone on more.

She is darling! Good work guys! =) I am glad that everything went okay. We saw Brent at the store and he looked like a walking zombie. lol I assume you look about the same. =) If there is anything I can do for you guys, let us know, k! I am so thrilled for you three. You've waited so long. Best wishes, lots of kisses. Love your faces.
P.s. I had toxiema with Jolie, and I agree, it sucks a lot worse than a regular pregnancy. Jo was born 5 weeks early, but still at 9lbs 4 oz. I know, could you imagine what she would have weighted if I had her full term? She never would have been able to get out. =)
