Our beautiful baby girl was born Saturday, March 27th at 9:41 am. She was 6 lbs 1 oz and 18.5 inches long. We are healthy and doing well (but could use a lot more sleep!).

Congratulations Ciara & Ryan! Welcome to the rest of your life. LOL
Isn’t she the most beautiful thing? She’s soooooo sweet!
I’m so happy to hear this news… I’ve been thinking of you all!

Oooh, I love the name Olivia! When my Lil’ Sis and brother-in-law were arguing over what to name their baby, I tossed out Olivia (and was vetoed – oh well!).
Super-duper congratulations are in order. I guess this answers the question of whether or not I’ll be seeing you at RWA this summer, huh?

Oh, she’s beautiful!
Congrats, Ciara.

As I’ve said before, she’s adorable! Congratulations once again.
It’s so funny…my oldest daughter’s middle name is Olivia and Juniper was born on my hubby’s b-day. Funny how that works, isn’t it?
I remember right after my youngest was born a lady asked me her name and when I told her the first name she said – omg that’s my daughter’s name and they ended up being born on the same day!

Thanks everyone! There are more photos on facebook. Juniper was a somewhat popular name in the middle ages and there are two Saint Junipers. It was more common as a boy name, but we think it makes a much better girls name.
Tracy – too funny! Olivia is for my little brother Oliver, who is named after my great-grandfather. Author Linda Winstead Jones’ birthday is the same day too.

Wendy – I always thought I’d name my daughter Olivia, but then it got super popular. I think it’s lovely and it’s a family name. I’m still deciding whether it makes sense to go to RWA this year. I think it would be too difficult to bring her and try to breastfeed between sessions. Next year in NY I’ll definitely go!
