on the wee one...

the wee one.

Eisley Kathleen has arrived!

August 13th, 2011
11:49 PM
6 lbs. 2 oz.
20 1/2 inches

Jay and I are absolutely over the moon. Our little girl is truly the sweetest newborn and we've been busy swooning over her for the past five days. I can't wait to share the birth story with you, as well as many (many, many) more photos, but for now I'm happy to take a step back and focus only on these first few days and all the incredible moments we're sharing together as a family.

I can't believe she's actually here. And that she's mine. I've truly never been so happy.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to congratulate us via email, twitter and elsewhere. I wish I had time to respond to each of you individually—but I hope you know that all of your well wishes, sweet thoughts and prayers have made me incredibly melty and thankful for each and every one of you. You mean the world to me.

  37. You know, usually when people see a newborn and they say "It looks like mom! (or dad)" I always think, "No. It looks like A BABY. It doesn't look like anyone yet." But no... she looks like you. Sniffle. She's gorgeous. I'm so happy.
