Sweet Amelia

What can I say about a day like this? We became parents at 3:11 today. Amelia came to us smiling, cuddling, and making eye contact immediatly. Let me just say, tears were shed by all. Myself, Jimmy, Sonia, and our guide, Kathy, too.
Amelia is sweet and wonderful, and quite infatuated with her daddy already.
She's had her first bottle and first diaper change, and I rocked my baby to sleep for the first time.






she loves to cuddle!
