I am in love. I am so in love.
The bun has arrived, and I cannot explain how happy I am to have Baby Kate in my life. From the moment she was placed on my belly, I fell instantly and madly in love with this little being.
I wanted to drop a quick post to thank everyone for your well wishes and congratulations. I've been so touched by your comments, e-mails, and gifts! So wonderful. Thank you all!
I just had to post this little teaser photo of Kate. I will post more photos in an album for all to see -- I just need to catch my breath! This first precious week has flown by, and I'm trying to enjoy every second of every minute!
And CONGRATS to MARIKO for winning the Baby Pool! I'll be sending out your package shortly -- I have to say that you are getting quite a stash of goody goods! To all the other participants, I'll be sending out a little somethin' somethin' as well!!
