Here She Is!!!!

Much to tell you all, but a bit overwhelmed right now. Baby girl was born one week ago. She is a delightful baby. When she fusses, all she needs is a quick cuddle or a boob, and she's great. I want to protect her privacy, so will not be using her name here. I am posting a photo with her name embedded in it, but that way it's not in the text and not searchable.

I'm taking suggestions on what to call her here. I could just call her S, but certain bloggers (Aunt Becky ;-)) have said they find that annoying. So help me out here.

I will write more when I can. Enjoy the deliciousness.

BTW, I had decided on her second middle name before I found out that a certain famous mommy blogger had given her second daughter that name.

    Dora,

    She is sooo beautiful. Congratulations again. Maybe call her MJ on the blog.

    Oh Dora, she's gorgeous!!! And you look SO happy in the photos--who wouldn't be!! Delicious doesn't even begin to describe her, and I LOVE the names you've chosen! Congrats, Mama!!
    Regarding what to refer to her as in your blog, I don't have any helpful suggestions...I was going to refer to my baby girl as K when she gets here, but maybe that's annoying too? No idea! :)

    I'm in agreement with the rest: she's gorgeous. Gorgeous.

    And re: the nickname for the blog, I think that one will come to you. If you're like other parents I know you may come up with a nickname (or seven) for her that you use in real life. One of those may be good for the blog.

    We'll know who you're talking about until you find a name you're happy with if you just call her "the baby." :)

    Dora,
    Hoooooray! Congratulations on finally being able to meet your beautiful daughter!

    I hope you're recovering and adjusting well, and that any help you're getting from your mom (or anyone else) is in fact helpful.

    You could call her by a pseudonym that reflects her New York sassiness. Eloise? Or, as Quiet Dreams suggests, wait for something to emerge.

    I just want to squish those cheeks.

    Congratulations Mom!

    Its nice to see you so very happy! I can't wait to hear your birth story, and I love her name. I think calling her S is just fine.

    Beautiful girl. And I have to say, she looks like she's grown since I saw her last week. Is that possible?

    Oh sweetie, congratulations! I hope that the transition to home is going well and you two are just enjoying each other.

    Beautiful. Just Beautiful.

    Something will come to you for a nickname. Just give it a little time. I'd suggest "sweet cheeks" right now....

    Congrats again. Wish I could be there...

    Oh Dora -- she is stunning. And, so are you by the way. She is clearly giving you such peace. You look perfect together. I love her name. Just love it. No great suggestions about screen name, but I'm sure someone's will work for you.
