Maggie's Debut

Finally - some time to post some new pics of our Maggie. When I named this blog in anticipation of the joy that our sweet girl would bring us, I had no idea just how much joy and love that meant! It's truly awesome and almost overwhelming this love we have for her already. God is good - that's all I can say. Seriously, I could cry just thinking about it (and often do! :-)) She is absolutley the sweetest thing EVER!

Maggie decided to make her debut on Tuesday - one day shy of our induction date - and 6 days past her due date. I was so very thankful she finally decided to come on her own. We arrived at the hospital around 2:15 a.m. and made the calls to let our family know "it's time". About 14 hours later - at 4:55 p.m. - Maggie Bren was born, weighing in at 8 lbs .03 ounces and measuring 20.8" in length. She was - and still is - the most beautiful thing we've ever laid eyes on and has a headfull of hair that - had I not just delivered her - would have me questioning whether she was my child!

We finally got to come home on Thursday and are quickly settling into a routine of feedings and naps, etc... Thanks to all for your prayers, thoughts, well-wishes, visits, dinners and especially your love. We are so thankful that Maggie has you all in her life!

Here are some pics:

Maggie received this hat as a shower gift and of course we could not resist!
