Meet Sweet Margaret

Our little girl is finally here and she is a sweetie.  
 She was born on June 7th at 4:59pm.  She weighed in at 7 lbs. 14 oz. and was 21.5 inches long - making her our biggest baby so far.  She has long, beautiful eyelashes and a head full of dark hair.  Compared to our other four, so far she looks most like Peter.   

Everyone here has been thrilled to meet her.  All the kids want to hold her and kiss her and share things with her.  Peter still exclaims every time he sees her, "Baby!!"  They have all been very sweet.

We named her Margaret Michele after some of our favorite good, spiritually strong women.  We hope she will follow their examples. 

Margaret made it here through a series of small miracles that ended in a rush C-section for me.  We are so grateful that she is here safe.  I may document the details here one of these days.  But not right now.  I'll be happy to tell you all about it if you ask.

Congratulations! She is beautiful. You are such a special family and she is so lucky to be joining you. Would she by chance happen to be named for a good friend of mine as well?

Congratulations. What a doll. I'm glad things went okay and that both of you are doing well. It's amazing how much our families have grown since we last saw you. I think Emma was just little. What a great family.

Leslie said...
