Daddy's Little Girl

We're approaching her fifth day of life, and Grace is doing great! She's especially fond of her Daddy. It's clear already that she's Daddy's Little Girl. She loves cuddling with him every chance she gets.

We're blessed to both be home with Grace. Martin will be home for 8 weeks, and I'll be home through the end of August. We will cherish every second of our time with our daughter. We are completely in awe of her. I find myself just staring at her, amazed that we created this little angel. Throughout my pregnancy, I wondered what it would be like to be a Mom. Would I be any good at it? Would I know how to take care of my child? I am overwhelmed by the maternal instincts I never knew I had. Even more, I'm overwhelmed by the depths of love I feel for my child and the deepening of my love for Martin as I share this experience of parenthood with him.

Introducing Grace Calleigh Fogarty!!!

We are pleased to announce the arrival of Grace Calleigh Fogarty!!! Baby Grace was born yesterday, Saturday, May 26, 2007, at 6:09 AM. She weighed in at 6 lbs and is 19.5 inches long.

Our little angel arrived 25 days before her due date, but she's healthy and content with the outside world so far. We are so blessed!

Martin and I agreed that yesterday was the most amazing day of our lives. Her birth story will follow soon. Now I've got to get back to her...

35 Days and Counting

35 days and counting 'til Baby Fogarty is due! We're putting the finishing touches on the nursery and preparing to meet the newest member of our family. We are SO excited to welcome our first child into the world. The last eight months have been quite a journey, and we're so thankful for the love and support of our family and friends during this AWESOME time in our lives.
