The Future Art Lover is here! Announcing Alice Hart (jbowman) (w/ PICS!)

[Marisa6826]

(scroll down for pictures from Jill)

I just received a wonderful phone call from Jill, letting me know that Alice Hart arrived today at 12:58pm (Central Time).

She's a big girl, at 8 lbs. 7 oz. and 21 inches long. Good thing she was four days early!

Word is that Alice has lots of hair and is the spitting image of her big Sister, Ellie.

Mom and Alice are doing great, and I should be receiving pics either later today, or tomorrow to post on behalf of Jill. I will leave the rest of the birth details for Jill to tell.

Everybody should be home by Saturday, just in time for some gelato and Cheetos. ;)




Congrats Girlie! You did a GREAT job!

ETA: And no, she's not bright orange, LOL! And I'm not sure what kind of art she likes, either...right now I'm guessing Cassatt's mother and child images! ;)

She's beautiful!!! I especially love the picture of Ellie and Alice together. Ellie looks mesmerized (very similar to the look Kaya gave when she held her baby cousin). I can't wait to hear the full story!

I can't believe I didn't reply sooner (or did I...this thread is so long...can you tell you're well loved?!)...Anyways, a huge Congrats to you, Jill. Alice is such a strong name! And what a beautiful family you have.

I hope your days are as restful as they can be with two little ones. May she love art just as much as the rest of you! Shouldn't be too hard, after all her first moments were in your womb while you were touring art museums abroad.
