First Noel

Our tree

This was a Christmas of firsts. It was our first Christmas away from our families, our first Christmas celebrated in our house, and of course, Margot's first Christmas! While we missed all the excitement and tradition that we usually have when we're with our families, our day was relaxing and peaceful. Considering our new normal includes regular sleep deprivation, this Christmas was just our speed:)

We opened gifts, and even Margot had some fun things to open. thanks to her Aunties Sarah, Katrina, Great Aunts Nancy and Anita, Granny (my mom Mary-Leslie), the Sawyers, the Ratliffe's, and our sweet neighbors. Thanks everyone!

Our stockings: Tucker's was filled with pistachios...you'll have to ask him about that one:)

Beaujolais Nouveau - it's been a long time coming!

Rosebud

Our girl came into the world on Friday evening at 5:47pm, weighing 7lbs, 4 Oz and 19 inches long. Considering how many people guessed we were having a boy, (based on the way I was carrying), we were surprised to see our baby was a girl. We both looked at each other, smiled, laughed, and I said "it's Margot!" This little rosebud really is our dream come true.

First moments with Margot

Some first pics...

During the second night in the hospital, I heard Tucker promise Margot a car on her 16th birthday if she stopped crying. She's got someone wrappped around her finger!

Happy, sleepy, and full.

We'll post more as we get to know our little rosebud. Welcome to the world Margot Leslie!
