Welcome Mary Esther!

WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY, MARY ESTHER!
Jeff and I are beyond thrilled to announce the arrival of our new baby girl!  She was born on the 18th of April (one week early) at 10:02am in Seattle, WA.  She weighed 6 lbs 1 ounce and measured 19 1/4 inches long - almost identical to her brother, Andrew (6 lbs 2 ounces and 19 1/4 inches long).



I was shocked when they handed me this beautiful, tiny little baby with gobs of dark almost black hair. She was beautiful and perfect in every way!



Esther has been a very content baby from her first hours with us.


Jeffrey is my hero!  I never would have made it through the ten hours of labor without his coaching, tenderness and confidence in me.  He is my everything; I am so grateful we have been blessed with such a beautiful family.


Andrew has taken really well to his new role as BIG BROTHER.  He is cautious and tender and very helpful.  Baby Essie is a lucky little sister.


Milk Comas are plentiful . . .


                                                               First hours of life


On our way home from the hospital - 20 April 2012


Jeffrey and Andrew decorated our apartment with pink streamers and had all our flowers displayed!  Drew chose a gorgeous bouquet of red and yellow tulips for his mother and new baby sister's arrival.



 More to come . . . Thank you to all our friends who have been so generous and kind as we have prepared and welcomed Baby Esther to our family.  We love you all!
