FINALLY. I thought it would never happen, but our little baby girl is here and we're all SO IN LOVE!!!!
AND...after so much agonizing, fretting, changing my mind, and finally making a decision, we named this baby. HONESTLY...why does it have to be so hard?! Every name I had picked out just wasn't working on her and we just had to go with a name that my Love Nugget and I both liked simultaneously. SO...she is:
Brooke Emma Welker
February 11th * 1:15 p.m.
7 lbs. 4 oz. 19 in.
*Emma is my mom's name - both of my girls are each named after a grandmother now. {GASP!} HOW precious.*
I think it's funny that Brooke was the LEAST popular pick from all of you! Good thing I follow my own drummer, eh? Labor and delivery couldn't have gone better. I'm not going to say that it's easy, but comparatively, I had a very simple, easy ordeal.
PERFECT! Now I get to snuggle with this tiny little thing and I'm loving every minute of it!!! {She's so small - her nugget head is like the size of an orange!}
Now...if we can avoid the ever-annoying baby acne, I'll be ecstatic! I can't wait to take some great photos of her!
Oh, and thanks to everyone for playing "Name That Baby" with me! That was so much fun!!! I loved hearing everybody's ideas!!! Very cool.

Ummm. gorgeous...
She is so precious!! Congrats!
Oh. Wow. She is gorgeous! Congratulations!! I wanted to offer a tip for avoiding the baby acne (totally insures beautiful pictures!) ... Hydro-cortisone Cream is magical! My kids had the baby acne thing going on, and my Pedi suggested it. It wasn't until after my son's baby blessing (his poor face) that I even thought to ask, but after I tried it (just after a bath- rub it all over her little body), his face was soft, smooth and white! It's worked for everyone I've told about it too! SO, go pick up some Equate (Walmart) or any off-brand (unless you don't want to risk it- buy the name brand stuff) and put it on her after every bath.
Good luck! AND Congrats again!
Congratulations!!! She is beautiful! And I think that is a great name :)

I love your blog. BEAUTIFUL baby girl If you dab breastmilk on any baby acne spots it will dry them up. My oldest was a preemie and I learned that from the lactation specialist and in the NNICU they would use freshly pumped (frozen didn't work) breastmilk for really bad diaper rash.
Congratulations,
Shan
just gorgeous...take care and enjoy her :-)
Best wishes to the whole family! What a beauty :)
Beautiful baby- congrats! And she can have Valentine themed bday parties- how fun!

She is so lovely - congratulations! Glad you and she are doing well.
Congratulations! She is beautiful.
Owww, she is darling! Great day, it's my hubby's birthday day! Enjoy her.
How funny..I call my baby my little nugget too! She is 3 months old and I haven't finished a single project since her birth. Man if you start throwing projects on here anytime soon I am going to feel like a total failure!
Congratulations! She's beautiful!
I love that your daughters are named after their grandmothers. My first two are too (my son and other daughter have other family names), and I love that they have that connection.
She is just beautiful! So glad she is here safely and everything went well. Hope you get lots of sleep.
Congratulations!!! How beautiful!
Congrats on your baby! she is beautiful! SO...I was just invited onto the Genesys Advocates website and was surfing thru some of the women's names and came upon yours! Are you in Grand Blanc? We are going to be 3rd years starting in July of this year. I follow your blog all the time and was shocked when I saw that you were on that website. Sorry if this is weird, just found it really cool! my blog is private, but you can email me gbaldwin519@msn.com and maybe you have some good pointers for moving to Michigan!
Congrats Abby! I love the name. Love names that have meaning. And i hear ya on the baby acne! I have had success with my little baby girl. This time I hardly ever put lotion on her and if i do it is only Aveeno! And she has been pretty much acne free. So good luck! You're one amazing Momma!
Congrats on such a precious gift of God! She is perfectly beautiful! Come join me so you can enter my new giveaway! Blessings to you!
Congratulations! She is BEAUTIFUL!
