Miss Belly

I'm an aunt!!! Our niece made her appearance yesterday, 10 days early, after only 7 hours of labor but then 2.5 hours of pushing. We are so thrilled that mom, dad and baby are doing well and loving each other. I can't wait to make it out to P-town to take pics of that munchkin! Here she is, all hands and feet, with Auntie B yesterday afternoon:



What do y'all think: Aunt Shannon? Auntie Shan? Aunt (said like "oughnt") Shannon? I've got some of each, so I can't decide!

Love wins! Shan

We got back to FL last week from a wonderful vacation and I've been busy getting my feet underneath me again at home, thus the posting delay. Otherwise I would have been completely punctual, of course! (Hey, I see the eye rolls!)
