Yes folks, we have a true Southern belle on our hands.
We are thrilled and have been spending the past week getting to know her, so excuse the late post. Here are a few pics from the past week...
Shots from the hospital...
Some shots from home...
First walk with the family of four...
Finally, you may note the Cora carries my maiden name as one of her middle names. As the circle of life would have it, we learned that we lost my dear grandfather, Willard "Swede" Dietz just hours after Cora was born. I called my dad to tell him she was born and he called back no long after to tell us his dad had passed. My grandfather was near and dear to me and we thought it appropriate to include his name in hers.
To me, her being 8 days overdue now makes perfect sense.
We'll miss you, grandpa.
Welcome Miss Cora. We look forward to getting to know you.
awwwww....:) hugs all around!

ReplyDeleteHow lovely to include a dear family member in her name. Those pics are great--especially love the one of B giving the side-eye, and the one right after she was born where she's sleeping on your chest is so sweet. Annie, you look so beautiful and happy!
