Happy Friday all. So, guess what? Our little lady was so eager to come into this world, she arrived a week and a half early on Wednesday morning! We're thrilled and in love with this tiny person in a way I never knew possible. I promise to share photos and her name after the weekend once we've had a chance to settle back in at home. For the next couple weeks, as I spend some extra time with my daughter {can't believe I'm saying that!}, I've got some guest posts lined up from some awesome fellow bloggers to fill in for me. We'll still have posts from all the usual Oh Joy contributors {plus a brand new one}, and I'll pop in from time-to-time to say hello with posts I've planned in advance and an update on baby. Have a great weekend all… — Joy

  58. WAUW! How great. Congratulations. I loved watching your Friday growth images as I’m 27 weeks now myself. But this is EVEN BETTER! Take your time and enjoy your new baby girl. To get to know one another and adjust to your new role as a mommy.
    And Rifle made an amazing family portrait. I’m secretly jealous…
