Thanks so much for all your sweet comments the other day on the arrival of our little lady. Many of you have been asking about her name and to see some photos…so I'm so happy to introduce…
Ruby Katherine Cho to you! Ruby has been a name I've loved for a while and Katherine is in honor of a dear friend of mine {and relative of Bob's} who passed away several years ago. She also has Thai and Korean nicknames that her grandparents on each side will call her {ps. it was so fun to see what You Can't Call It It suggested for names}.
Ruby arrived last Wednesday, October 12th and was 6 lbs, 11 oz. My labor was surprisingly quick {but far from painless!} as she was quite eager to join the outside world. She's only 5 days old today, and it's crazy how much I could love someone I just met this much. Our lives are forever changed in the most amazing way possible. While I don't always get super personal here, I've been thinking about sharing some of my tips, recommendations, and things I've learned after being pregnant and being a new mom with you all if you're interested in hearing. I'll keep you guys posted on Ruby from time to time as she grows and as we get to know our little lady more and more… — Joy

– agata.
Congratulations!!! sooo cute & beautiful name to match!
Oh maaah gaaah! Everything about her is perfect – her hair is even naturally styled! Our daughter (17 months) is named Zoey Katherine. Katherine is a family name on both sides. My husband wouldn’t let me make her middle name Unicorn or Xanadu, so Katherine was obviously the next best choice.
Advice and tips are always fun and I am sure a lot of mom’s will weigh in in the comments section!
Enjoy the crap out of her!
So happy for your family! Ruby is adorable.
A precious name for a precious little lady.
An infinite amount of blessings and congratulation to all of you.
May she always follow her own voice from within.
Love from TheDandelionChronicles

So exciting! Ruby is so beautuiful. Enjoy this special time, as mother to a 13 months old, I can tell you that those first few months are so precious and go by so quickly. It’s an exhausting time, but one you’ll cherish.
I hope you’ll share your experience with us.
Congratulations! She is an absolutely beautiful baby – just gorgeous :0) Wishing your new little sweetness all the happiness in the world!

Congratulations, Joy! She’s beautiful. My best friend gave birth in late July and named her baby girl Ruby Kathleen. She loved the name Ruby and Kathleen is her mother’s name; sadly, she passed away a couple of years ago. I’m surprised to run across such a similar name, and they were both born with a head full of dark hair, too!
she’s perfect.
Thank you for sharing the photos and Ruby’s name. What a lucky little girl to be born into such a loving and creative home. I’d love to hear Momma tips and advice. I’m a daily reader and am due this Dec.!
When I think of Ruby, I think of the show, Felicity, which is still my most favorite show. Therefore, I LOVE her name–so simple & precious. I bet you both are so happy she is finally here. Congrats!

Just catching up on my blog reading… congratulations on your beautiful daughter! I hope you and Bob are getting some zzzz’s in between the feedings and cuddles. I was there 8 months ago, so I know. Enjoy the journey!
Congratulations! She’s beautiful!
She’s beautiful, and the name is perfect. =]
Congratulations on little Ruby! I’d definitely be interested in hearing your take on things. I’m due next week and have been following along with your pregnancy, so the fact that your baby is here is a reality check for me!
Congratulations!!! She is so adorable. Enjoy her!
We just had a little one and he is growing so fast. He is now 6 months and so much bigger. You’ll be surprised how the newborn stage goes in a blink of an eye. So make sure you put on the outfits you want on her before she grows out of them. LOL. Can’t wait for your tips. Here are a tip, I’d love to share: I love the Safety1st nail filer. So much easier than nail clippers or needing teeny tiny bandaids. ;D I just file his nails while I nurse him with boppy pillow of course. So happy for you guys!
What a tiny beauty. Congratulations! October 12th is a great birthday. I should know, it’s mine, too!
She is beautiful! Congrats!

What brand of onesie are these? I’m a few months away from my first baby, and like the look of these soft whites which is what we want to put our little lady in during her first week. All the ones I have seen so far don’t look too soft.
Congratulations! She’s so lovely!!! I’m jealous.
