Of incredible beauty


Yes, we have a new baby girl! We welcomed Mirabella into our world on Sunday, March 1st at 2:02 am. She weighed in at 7 pounds and 7 ounces and was 21 1/4 inches long. She is healthy and all three of us are doing great! Jeff and I think she is the loveliest little creature we have ever seen, of course!

Mirabella (meer-uh-bell-uh) has been the name we had picked out since before I was pregnant and although there were other names we liked, we never strayed from this one. Martelle (mar-tell) was my nana's middle name; she went by Marty, so Mirabella's middle name is in memory of her. I know she is feeling honored as she looks down upon us from heaven.

We will provide more details and get some additional pictures up eventually, but we're very much enjoying our time together currently at the hospital. Thank you for all the well wishes and kind thoughts we've received! We are in love with our Mirabella!
