Virginia Ruth
8 lbs 10 oz
20.5 inches long
I honestly don't even know how to begin to describe what a sweet and tender experience the last few days have been. She came less than two hours after my water broke, and less than an hour after arrival at the hospital. I feel like her labor and delivery were in every way a sweet and tender mercy. And little Ginny is herself the most tender part of all.
I am in love.
And so is Raymond. He wakes up from nap and sleep saying, "baba" (baby) and going to find her. He wants to hold, kiss, touch, and look at her as much as we will let him.
Virginia is (so far) a champion eater and sleeper. She cuddles and snuggles and begs to be loved. And without doubt ever person in this house is smitten.
ps These photos just don't even begin to do her justice. She has the sweetest, roundest little face with a rosebud mouth and kissable cheeks. Her hair is dark with bit of blonde, and about as thick as Raymond's is currently. Long fingers and toes and a little body that is more ball than anything else. Someday we'll live by one of our photography siblings so we can post better pictures, but until then, these are taking with love.
