My Long Bean

Dallas and I are thrilled to announce the arrival of our little girl, Bodhi Jacqueline. She was born June 13 and weighed in at 6lbs 12oz. I don't even know how to describe how amazing it feels to welcome such a beautiful little person into this world. It's crazy how you can love someone so much who you only just met (I know, very cliche... but so true!). I am loving every moment with her. I could stare at her for hours...
I took these photos when she was five days old:

Bodhi is a Buddhism term meaning enlightenment and awakening. But as I later found out from one of my uncles, it is also the Indonesian word for long bean. That couldn't suit her more! She is long and thin, and she has the longest little feet, fingers, and toes.

Well, time for me to go and feed the little munchkin... again. :)
