I am lying here on the couch with my dog, my laptop, and my daughter. Words cannot express the joy and contentment I am feeling. Really, I think her breath must contain Prozac. All of the cliches are true. The world feels different. Time goes faster. I don't care about eating or sleeping, I just want to be with her. And really, how could I not? Just look at this face...
Her name is Mary Ellen Grace, but we are calling her Meg. She was born on Thursday at 12:36pm and weighed in at 6 pounds exactly. She is 19 inches long and most of that is legs. She has long fingers and toes, and LOTS of hair. She doesn't like to take big feedings, preferring just to "snack" every hour. It is a practice we are trying to change.
So in love. So Mushy. Don't even mind it.

Oh, LIBBY. She is gorgeous. I'm so happy for you guys! You deserve every joyous moment.
Oh my God she is so beautiful. Did you put blush on her cheeks? Look at that hair-- I'm glad you won't have to tape little bows to her scalp.
She is perfect! I want to kiss her. I can see how good she smells and soft she feels.
See why I have fourteen? I am telling you what. It's hard to stop having these little people around.
I'm so happy for you!! I'm gonna say "take care of yourself and get some rest" because I know you'll be too absorbed looking at that lovely little girl to remember.
CONGRATS!!
She's beautiful! Congratulations!
Welcome Meg! She's adorable!
Does she have a good set of lungs on her? Or does she just sort of squee for now? She looks really alert for a newborn! :) *sigh* I want to be right there next to you oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over her. Blessings from heaven.
So precious. Congrats :-)

Wow, I don't even know what a 6 pound baby looks like! We give birth to football players in my family. It would be nice to have something more baby sized. She has a sweet face! I'm glad you're all happy.
I just want to smoooosh those little cheeks. She is beautiful!!!!!!!
Libby and Ryan:
Meg is gorgeous. I am thrilled for you and your extended family. Ellen has kept me up to date on your quest to adopt.
We are very happy to hear your endeavors have resulted in such success.
Love,
Bobbi, Ken, Jack and Nick Highberger

Ohhhh....I love the little dimpled crease in their wrists....
Congratulations and best wishes!
And remember these days for when she's 13 / 16 / 19 and a bit more challenging :)
Awwww...what a beautiful picture! I'm sure Meg appreciates you as much as you do her. Parenthood is great isn't it?
