Hey, you two!! Congrats on your new beautiful baby daughter!!!
Congrats you two. She is so incredibly cute. I am glad that she is healthy, what a BIG GIRL! :) Yes...as Jodi said VERY familiar sounding with Camren super long labor and resulted in C-section...but you got a healthy baby! :)
Cant wait to meet her!
Amazing Magnolia Grace!
How can it be that she is SO beautiful and look so much like her father?! Just kidding, Brian.
Her birthday is a day after my son's, whose was chosen by the doctor to avoid leap day. I was sad, cuz I thought it would be quite cosmic to be born on that day!
Joyful news to get this Bright Week!
Thank God and congratulations to you all.I've been nervous since Brian's emergency exit of APU in January.
God be with you,
anne
