We are happy to announce the birth of our daughter....

Here she is right after birth, bright eyed, beautiful, and alert!

Our midwife weighs her and finds that she is 7 lbs. 6 oz, and 20 inches long - just right!

Big sister is very excited to finally hold her own little baby!

Oh, another little girl - what a beautiful family, Marla. Congratulations and scads of love for the little ones.
She is absolutely adorable baby girl. So you did go for a natural birth again. That is wonderful. So with four children I know you have your hands full now. Enjoy them, they grow up so fast.
Hello and congrats on your daughter. I was playing around on the internet tonight and found your blog. What was I searching for? My daughter's name, Linnea Valerie!! Yes, that is her name!! She was born on 30 September 2007 in Cumberland, MD (Memorial Hospital). And my wife and I thought we had the only Linnea Valerie in the US. ;)We gave her a Swedish name in honor of my Swedish forefathers. Congrats!!
I might mention our Linnea was born with 2 hemangiomas. One rather large (1") on her shoulder. At 2-1/2, they have already shrank considerably. I only mention it because your Linnea looks as if she has one. If it is one, don't fret, they really do go away...
