RE: baby on the outside

Her name is Ruby Elizabeth.

She was 7lbs 8oz.
She looks like the Hubs.
Like an angel.

She was born at 4:50 pm on June 16th.
She has a full head of hair.

And, for those of you math types...
Yes, that was 37 hours of labour.
But more on that later...

We love her.
She is perfect.

What an intense and wonderful miracle.
Our family.
At last.

OH MY GOD, SHE IS GORGEOUS!

Huge congrats to all three of you! You were so lovely to me while I was pregnant with the Prawn and I hoped so hard that you'd get to hold a little bubba of your own in your arms soon! I'm so glad that your dearest wish has come true. :)
