Hey guys - Just wanted to check in and let you know that Arianna Rose was born 3 weeks early on Dec 20 - a very healthy baby girl weighing 6 lbs 4 oz.  She was an amazing Christmas gift for sure!  Here's a link to a sneak peek of our newborn photo session - we're the ones at the top!

Lucky for me so far she seems like a VERY even tempered baby and we're starting to get into a bit of a schedule.  I'm on maternity leave until April 4, and I'm thinking of picking up a book for nap times.  Not ready to jump into any challenges yet, but day time television is losing it's appeal quickly!

Happy New Year to all of you!

Congratulations, Michelle!  She's beautiful!  I'm assuming you are the dark-haired pretty mamma in the pictures with her?  So fun to see your face!  Mother and daughter are gorgeous.  I'm so glad things went well for you and that you have a healthy, content little girl!  I hope she lets you have some time to read, though!  Thanks for sharing the news and the pictures.  Enjoy your maternity leave.  Be happy and well!  Hugs!!!!

Oh Michelle - what a precious little bundle! You both look like you are doing very well and that is absolutely wonderful. Such a great Christmas gift, isn't she?

You both take care and Michelle - get some rest whenever you can!

She is so cute - and I love her name!  I also love the picture where she is laying over the joined hands  - when my daughter was a newborn my husband used to lay her like that on one of his arms (with her head in the palm of his hand) and he would rock her that way.  Sometimes it was the only way we could get her to stop crying!  Seeing that picture reminded me of that - it seems so long ago now.  Enjoy your time at home with her and take care!

Congratulations!!! Those are great newborn pictures, and she's just beautiful! I love the ones of you two together and the one of her in the netting the most, but they're all so precious! Arianna was one of my top picks for a girl name - love it! :) Get plenty of rest while you can, and I'm so glad for you that she's been so good tempered for you. Enjoy her, mama! :)

Thank you so much everyone!

And Donna - you made me laugh! 

Daphne- those are my husband's hands in the photo.  And she also likes being rocked that way - when she's really fussy it seems to help soothe her.

Jerelyn - I LOVE the new baby smell - I can't get enough of it!!
