Update :)

[Judegirl]

Hi everyone! I just wanted to report that my daughter, Riordan Noel, was born on May 4th. She was just over 9 lbs, the C-section was smooth, I got my private room and left the hospital in 3 days...in short, everything went wonderfully and we are positively aglow with bliss. :)

Thank you all so much for all of your help, information, and support over the past several months. I look forward to sharing the same as I learn - and to asking for even MORE help!

Ecstatic,
Jude

Okay....she's almost 4 weeks old (already!) and I'm just beginning to catch up on my correspondence!

I just wanted to thank all of you for posting your well-wishes. And also thanks to those of you who complimented her name. It seems to suit her well; we love it!

Happily,
Jude
