Our girl is as healthy as they come. At her most recent check up she weighed a sturdy 16lbs 1.8oz and measured 25.2" long. I'm sure you can tell from the pictures I post she is by no means starving. She LOVES to eat, and thanks to our more than generous breast milk donors, she hasn't had a drop of formula since she's been home. Personal high five, fist bump, cartwheel!! I've been ...

Our Adoption Shower!
I am so excited to share the pictures from this special day with you! We waited a long time for this. My mom and mother-in-law worked so hard and did an amazing job putting everything together.
