Okay, so I haven't announced this yet -- cuz I kind of figured that I don't really post that much for ppl to know me , but here goes.
we had our baby!


Her name is Elizabeth Rose and she was born Dec 31 at 11pm! My husband was happy I made it under the 2007 wire. ("No pressure, Mary, but could you . . ." ?)
She weighed 8lbs, 7 oz.
She was a long time coming, since I started contractions on the night of the 29th. I was never so happy to finally be DONE with something!

She's beautiful, with gray eyes and black hair and the smell and the softness . . . well, you all know.

Her big sister loves "Bee-bee Bet" -- especially watching her diaper get changed and the mysterious "drinking Mulk" part.
