Third times a blessing
The last few weeks of pregnancy brought with them the fretting of the early days-
Would she be healthy?
Did we ask for too much by having a third?
Would the girls be devastated?
Did I drink too much coffee?
Was painting the bathroom a bad idea?
Would Sean and I be ok?
Could we love her like Bri and Ave?
Could it be magic again?
Would she be ok?
I am weak from the force with which my worries were quieted. She is simply everything that we had dreamed of and so much more that we hadn't known we'd been missing. She has, with a wink of her stormy sea blue eyes, transformed our family, sealing us with a brilliant ribbon of wonder and love.
Oh, and laughter, yes laughter indeed.





And away we go!

Have you been reading my mind's list of worries from the past 24 hours? It is almost exact, replacing the names and bathroom paint with ceiling plaster.
Oh, how your pictures reassure me.

I still can't get over Finley's hair. So pretty, that one.
I love that last shot, up and at 'em.
Funny, way over here, how much hearing about a new baby still fills me with awe.

I'm not sure I have it in me, Amanda. But I'm so glad you do, and that you're sharing it with us all! And I'd write a big, fat check just to run my fingers through Fin's locks!
