Wel­come to the world beau­ti­ful baby girl Mae­lyn!
6# 13 ozs  and 21 inches of spit­ting image of dad, who, by the way, has already fallen head over heals for you kiddo. Guess who will be able to wrap dad around her lit­tle fin­ger real soon??

And your mom? Watch­ing her labor with you, scared but deter­mined after a not so easy preg­nancy, and then being so amazed at you and your birth, will be in my heart and mind for­ever. Awe­some. Sim­ply awesome.

You have no idea now,  the num­ber of real aunts and uncles, grand­par­ents and adopted aunts and uncles that so eagerly awaited then her­alded your birth.… but you will. You will sim­ply be loved more than you know.

I guess your first mes­sage to your par­ents is expect the unex­pected. Good for you and keep it up.

As for me dear Tues­days child…into my heart you have already gone, and it is there that I will keep you for­ever and a day. Happy, happy birth­day granddaughter!
