We're home!

We are home!

Wow - thank you all for the wonderful comments. We logged on last night and read them all!

We are going to name her Zoe Marie. She is doing great - she's eating and sleeping. I keep calling her Houdini because she likes to wiggle out of her socks and mittens!

She's just beautiful and we just feel so happy. I will post more later...just wanted to say thanks to everyone. :)

    Welcome home Zoe!! I am so happy for you. Can't wait to see pictures when you have a chance. Don't forget - sleep when she sleeps. Really!! I wish I had done this when Natalie was born. I'm still trying to catch up on sleep and she'll be 8 months on Monday
