Welcome to the world
Amanda Marie! She is minutes old here - her chin is so little. After a tough
delivery, she is still swollen and bruised and BEAUTIFUL. |
|
This is the second time Mommy got to hold her. She is 2 days old here. We had lots of tears that day. |

|
Here she is with her Mom and Nana. Boy, do her
lungs work good!

Her chin has all but grown out. |
