The stork has arrived

Finn Leigh was born August 1st at 2:51 am. Everyone is healthy and not even big sister Julia could be happier!

Julia could not be more excited, although hers is conditional: Finn must be a boy to earn her approval otherwise she'll send her back!

Me? Well, I haven't come up for air since I found out, and being that there are only 10 months to this thing I've got to consume as many carbs as possible! I had hit an all time weight low (sz 6), but was freezing. It was 65 degrees outside and I had 2 sweaters on plus a blanket, so I said au revoir to my newly purchased 6-es and said hello to bread, bagels,pasta, chips, etc!
