I LOVE the picture of you and Cora taken from above in B&W. You both look BEAUTIFUL!!! Definitely needs to be framed or printed on canvas!
So many fantastic pics of YOU with your new baby girl! I love the ones with Michael too! Actually, I love ALL of them, but I just think Kelli or whoever took these pics really captured some great images of YOUR first moments. I'm so happy for the way all this worked out - that you have FAMILY with you this time, and it's such a crazy, joyous, exciting time!!!! Can't wait to meet her!
I am so happy that her daddy finally got to hold her!!

Aw this was so precious, it practically made me cry. That's so nice how her birth family loves her and she gets those special trinkets. And Stewart getting scared of the "toy" kills me. I MISS HIM!! Anyway. Wonderful :) C.G. is a cutie.
