Our New Little Lady!

Our newest addition has finally arrived! We welcomed Phoebe Adeline Oakley Newlin into the world on Tuesday March 1st at 11:41 am. She was born at home, weighing in at 7 pounds, 4 ounces and 19.5 inches long. We are all tired, but adjusting well and big brother Finn is doing a great job!
I am hoping to find a rhythm soon and get back to some of my regular activities (like blogging!), but for now, I am trying to enjoy these early days at home becoming acquainted with this little lady.

Pin It Now!

    Welcome, Sweet Phoebe...and congratulations to your family! When my Charlotte was born, it felt like she'd always been a part of our family and we'd just been waiting for her. My son was almost 3 at the time and it was a big adjustment for him, but almost the exact same game (a fishing one!) from the baby, gifts for him when people brought things for the baby, time and lots of love and mommy-time helped.
    Best Wishes to all of you :)
