Twang'em into trees!
Thank you, everyone...I was dying with every day that got closer to her due date (originally March 10th!) to make this thread, and now that she's here, I'm in complete & utterly blissful awe...

Evelia's 30-week ultrasound picture & Evelia, 2 days old (*finally* without her hand in front of her pretty lil'face!):
And, for those who are curious, Evelia means "life" in Hebrew and we chose the name because it's easily pronounceable in both German & Spanish (my background & his) as they both have the same vowel sounds. The name also coincidentally is a beautiful mix of both of our mothers' names: mine is Evelyn, and his is Eusebia.
Her name is pronounced "eh-VAY-lee-ah"...and her middle names are those of our maternal grandmothers (mine - Gertrud, his - Angela). A very women-first name! And she's already showing what a strong, independent spirit she has inside of her...
I've been wanting to do this, so let's compare...Oh she is so gorgeous!!!! She doesn't look a thing like her ultrasounds!!Didn't that seem to take forever for her to get here? have fun with her- babies are _so_ much fun!! Congratulations!!
