Yes, I looked at that photo too, Elizabeth and thought the exact same thing. Bridget looks youthful and utterly beautiful, I know we are all tired after birth but I think that photo has captured that euphoric glow we are bathed in in those first few minutes after birth...

My heartiest congratulations to you Bridget and the whole family, this prayed-for baby will be a joy to you always!

Welcome Lydia Bernadette! I think of the colour purple when I think of the name Lydia..the first European convert.

Congratulations to your whole family!! Oh, Bridget, our whole family has been praying! Just a few weeks ago, we watched the original "Cheaper by the Dozen" at the request of my ds after ages of not seeing it...which of course got me thinking of your family ...so I took it as a sign to bump up the prayers for you and baby! Our prayers will continue and my children are especially happy to know of your joy! Lydia is gorgeous, as is her mama!

Love,
