Welcome to the world, Maggie…
November 19, 2008
Maggie Anna was born at 5:07 Monday morning. The announcement has gone out via Facebook and a church-wide e-mail, so I don’t think this will come as a surprise to any of you! 
She was 7lbs 6oz and 19.5 inches long. She has a beautiful dusting of dark hair (just like Auntie Anna’s!) and is beautiful, just beautiful.
When our first daughter was born, I remember having her placed in my hands after Sarah’s very long and difficult labor and thinking…”oh my, a baby.” I was scared to death - what does one do with one of these? This time around the labor was a lot shorter, a lot easier - and Sarah and I laid and cuddled and talked to Maggie. I feel like our family is complete. Sarah, Stella, Maggie. My girls.
We all have our nicknames for Margaret. Mommy has taken to calling her Masie, Daddy calls her Mags, Big Sister calls her Pookie.

she is beautiful. i know quite a few smart women named Margaret. One went by “Meg” - there’s another nickname. She was a folklore prof at U of U, lived in a groovy house in the Avenues, and had a cool sheep dog named Nellie.
i’m happy for your “complete” family…but won’t they need a little brother?

CONGRATS!!!!! Please tell Sarah hi for me and I hope she can squeeze some sleep in. I’m glad to know that all are doing well.

She is so beautiful! But you of course know that. I love that her name is Margaret Anna (and not ONLY because of the Anna part, but of course that is wonderful!) and that Stella calls her Pookie.
I can’t wait to see you ALL in a week!
