Congratulations on your beautiful daughter. Lots of health for both of you!

I've been looking out for this news...congratulations, she's stunning! We're waiting to see the sophisticated colors of her onesies

Only saw this now. She is gorgeous. Congratulations!

Oh she is beautiful!! So so happy for you and your hubby!

I pray all is not too difficult. The first month is the hardest!

Enjoy all the coos and stares and sleepy smiles!

Congrats!!

Congratulations! She is just beautiful!

Congratulations! Welcome little one and welome to you & DH on entering the world of parenting. Wishing your whole family much happiness.

She is beautiful. Congratulations to you and your husband! Enjoy the baby, they grow up very fast.

Oh, wow, congratulations! She's beautiful!

Oh my goodness what a gorgeous baby! She looks so alert and just absolutely adorable. Congratulations!!

So pretty! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations! She is just beautiful and looks so alert!

Congratulations! and welcome to the next member of YLF!

Congratulations on your gorgeous new daughter!

Thank you YLF. You all are so generous with your complements and they are much appreciated (Secretly they let me know I am not completely biased ) .

I am recovering quite nicely. DH is taking very good care of both of us. He started his paternity leave the day before DD was born and will be home with us through the first week of September. The timing is perfect because that is how long it will take for me to recover physically.

She's an absolute beauty, Day Vies -- just like her mama.

I love her darling little chin. She really does have a pixie like air to her. Glad to know you are doing well and how wonderful that the whole family gets some time to bond.

I just found this! Congratulations! Baby Day is beautiful! Wishing you joy and love and some sleep.

She is beautiful! Congratulations to you both. What a little darling!

Joy - you won't believe it but her middle name happens to be Joy. So I always get a little chuckle when people say "bundle of joy", "the joys of parenthood" etc. They don't know how close to the truth they are.

Well, I'd say she is quite aptly named!

She is beautiful! Congrats Day Vies

I share in your happiness.

I'm sure that your little bundle of Joy will bring you more joy than you can imagine

She's beautiful just like her mama. And welcome to the wonderful roller-coaster ride of being someone's parent!

Oh she's absolutely beautiful!!! Congratulations!

And how could you post this in off topic!?!?! I've been waiting for a post on the forum and nearly missed this. This is much too important to be in the sidebar!

Can I guess? Did you have c-section? I hope your recovery is speedier than expected. It isn't easy to have a baby, no matter how that baby arrives! But it is so very worth it. I'm glad you are both happy and healthy.

(And fwiw my daughter was born with blue eyes that darkened to a beautiful toffee color.)

Congratulations to you and your spouse!

K.Period - I completely agree that this post is too important to be in a side bar but I wasn't quite sure where to post the news since announcing DD's arrival is definitely not about fashion. Perhaps I could have gotten away with calling the post "WIUTW" - what I used to wear? I didn't want anyone to miss it, so I also posted it in my blog.

A c-section was not in the plan but neither was the "prolonged labor". Let's just leave it at c-sections are money makers for hospitals.

Deep toffee is a captivating eye color! I'd be perfectly happy with that. I am not at all sure what to expect in the way of DD's evolving eye color since no one in our immediate families has an eye color other than dark brown.

Day Vies- I bet little Xxxx Joy will live up to her middle name and have an illuminating smile like her mother. Hope you are getting a bit of rest!

Late to the party busy sending two of my children off to college soon..

Congratulations, she is so beautiful! Treasure every moment and tighten your seat belt, you are in for a fun ride!

Oh, I was just thinking about you DV. Congratulations.....She is beautiful!! Enjoy all these precious moments.

She is beautiful!
