Home With Grace!
I am HOME with my baby Grace! I soooo wanted to post this thread for such a long time! Here's my beautiful girly, who after the first day (she cried mostly), is an absolutely giggly baby! It took a while for her to lean into me when I held her, but she does now and is smily and giggly. Just a doll. I really could not be happier and I hope everyone who is waiting gets to experience this high soon!
