It's a Girl!

I kind of looks like she's smiling, doesn't it? It was a big - no, HUGE - relief to find out she was OK. The only time I ever prayed that much before was on a plane that that didn't seem like it was going anywhere other than straight into the Atlantic Ocean.

She's our first child, and although she won't be arriving for another four months, I remain speechless at the thought of having a child. It is awe-inspiring and frightening, and yet I can't remember ever looking forward to somehting with this much anticipation.
