It's Official!

It's now official...we are the proud parents of a beautiful little girl! I really stressed for the last few days about court and although the experience is nothing I would ever want to go through again it was not as bad as I had heard it went for others. I really think we had a nice judge and that made a difference. She certainly asked tough questions but it was all good in the end.
