Yesterday at 5:03 in the afternoon we became a family. Six days after her due date, Miss Zoe Rae has arrived, weighing in at seven pounds seven ounces and measuring twenty inches long. It was the hardest and the best thing I have ever done, and I had no idea it was possible to love a stranger with such a fierce, all-consuming love.

Now if you'll excuse me, we've got a brand new, barely-twelve-hour old baby to love on. And this one I don't ever have to give back. More to come when I've had time to digest the events of the past couple of days. Thank you all for your love and prayers; it means more than you know.
