Moira Jo

One week ago we were joined by our daughter Moira Jo. We are so in love with this little blessing that it is hard to contain. I think I've used the word "precious" over a hundred times this week but it is the word that comes to mind every time I look at her. Here are some pictures for everyone to enjoy of our first week with little Moira.

Minutes after being born Moira was already very alert and awake.

Auntie Christie joined us in the delivery room after anxiously waiting outside for Moira to be born.

Checking out Mommy

Dr. Iyad and his latest delivery. We met Dr. Iyad at our hospital just weeks before Moira was born. He spent the last 14 years in Ireland and has a great Irish accent. When we told him the baby's name he immediately recognized it as Irish and could even spell it correctly.

Great friends who visited us at the hospital bringing food and encouragement

Our birthing expert. She gave us a couple of classes and lots of advice before the birth.

Hanging out in the car seat

It is customary in this area to hand out candies to everyone you know after having a new baby. Here is Moira surrounded by the pink candy treats we gave to students and teachers after she was born.

Talking with Daddy

Grandma Moira arrived just four days after little Moira came along.
