As some of you might've heard by now, we welcomed Ms. Tabitha Faye Nichols to the world this morning at 4:20 AM. As you might guess, it was something of a long journey, but needless to say, worth every moment of it. We are absolutely elated to have the newest member of our family here and so proud to call her our daughter. We have spent most of the day dozing off and on in our hospital room and learning how to be a family of three. We're so in love with her it's incredible. We'll share more later. Thanks for all of your emails and comments.
She is beautiful, just beautiful. I was thinking you would be back at home by now after delivering on Friday… I certainly hope you haven't been laboring for three days- oy! She is so beautiful. So beautiful… Finally I can stop the constant refreshing!!
Can't wait for more pictuers and “The Birth Story” Congrats.
