I feel at a loss to try to catch you up on the past week of my life. There's just no way to completely sum up how much has changed. There really isn't. So, I'm mostly going to stick to pictures in this post. Words will have to come later. Anyway, it's 2 am and I'm not exactly coherent.
I will say that Nick and I are happier than we've ever been. We had NO IDEA how much it was possible to love another person until now. I am so thankful for her--I feel like I am constantly giving thanks to God for this beautiful little girl. We are also SO thankful for the prayers, emails, visits and encouragement we received from so many friends and family members. We have been surrounded by expressions of God's love through so many of you. Thank you so much!
Pops and Aunt Jami
Sadly we are missing Aunt Stephi, Uncle Remi, her cousin Camille and her soon-to-be Uncle Andy. They will be meeting her very soon and I will definitely put those pictures up too.
Aunt Whitney and Uncle Michael
Aunt Becky
Uncle Jeremiah
Nana (and Dad)
Hopefully we will have pictures of her with her Uncle Andrew and Aunt Emily very soon, too.
Here she is with our doctor and friend, Christi Hunt. We are so thankful for her!
Hanging out in the bassinet
I love this picture! She was totally out of it, almost asleep and unaware that she's even smiling but it's still so cute.
This is a family picture with the pink dogwood tree that my parents planted for Julia. We love it!
So sweet.
I plan to get better about posting now that I have such an interesting, ever-changing subject and no shortage of pictures to choose from. So, stay tuned.

Great post, you are so sweet to include all of your family in the pictures. She is so sweet and perfect Niki, I can't wait to meet her. You are so right, nothing can prepare you for the amount of love you have for her. I feel it still with Will, it's just overwhelming.
