Katie ~

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter!   Thanks for the charming photos, too.  Both mother and child look great.  :)

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

If I could sing, I would sing "Isn't she lovely.."  Little girls are something else, let me tell you.  Boys are easy compared to the complexity of a girl's emotions and thought processes.  I have one of each.  Congratulations!!

dang, I think I won the pool!

"Auntie" Phyl  girl 8 lbs 2 ozs 19 in Apr 5, 6:00 am Metro Boston MA  ANA Forum Mod and honorary "Auntie" 

Hey, wait a minute I want a recount, Phyl!  Are we going by weight, length, time or date?  Although I was off on the date and time, I was right on with the sex and weight, and within 1/2 an inch of the length.  Doesn't that make me the winner  ???  LOL

Congratulations to you, Katie!  The baby is beautiful - love her name, too.  You both look great!  I just knew you'd have a girl  ;D

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Thank you everyone!  Audrey and I are at home now and doing really well.  Her older brothers are very excited to have her home and want to show her everything!

According to the ExpectNet site, Phyl is the official winner!  Congratulations, Phyl!  Mary in Leominster came in second and Nancy in Long Island rounded out 3rd.

Yours in tiredness,

Oh, Katie, she is absolutely beautiful!  I just want to kiss those chubby little cheeks!  She's just perfect!

I'm so glad you are both doing well and I know her big brothers are going to spoil her and be good protectors for her.  She will have them wrapped around her pretty little finger in no time, I'm sure.

I hope you get some rest.  Enjoy your new addition.
