Our littlest princess...

Teresa Rose has arrived!
After much anticipation, she finally showed her pretty little face on Monday, October 12th at 2:09 p.m. She weighs 7 lbs 15 oz & is 21 inches long. She has a sweet little mess of brown hair on top, long lashes, her Daddy's chin dimple, & long toes. I see an amazing resemblance to big brother Andrew when he was a baby. She is healthy, happy (especially when I let her nurse for hours), & just so perfect!
We named her after Blessed Teresa of Calcutta & Great Grandma Rose F. She nows shares a birthday with cousin Lucy! Andrew & Rebecca were just bursting with joy when they met her last night. Andrew even kind of choked up when he was first holding her. : ) Rebecca asked, "Can we bring baby home with us?" Hooray! I hope that attitude lasts for a while. =]
I'll post pictures & more details later, but for now I'm just basking in the wonder of this tiny little princess. Thank you so much for your prayers!
