Surprise! Introducing Etta Emily


Etta Emily arrived two and a half weeks ahead of schedule on Friday, March 8 at 5:32 a.m., weighing in at 7 lbs., 15 oz. and stretching 20 3/4 inches long. She is Elise's newborn identical twin.

Arriving with more than two weeks until her due date, a lot of things were left undone around here. Elise's Jenny Lind bed. The kitchen. My dad worked like crazy over the weekend to get our dishwasher and sink installed by the time we came home from the hospital. But none of that really seems to matter anymore.

She's only been alive five days, but I can't imagine life without her now. I feel completely lucky to be the mom to two such beautiful little girls.

I have a few posts scheduled for the coming weeks and plenty of projects to show you, but I hope you'll understand if things are a bit quieter around here for a while!
