So many little tender mercies that Friday - going into labor at just the right time, having time to talk to Carver about it and not having it come as a surprise, 3 different places for our kids to play, no traffic up to the hospital, time to get my antibiotics working before delivery, the same fantastic nurse who helped deliver Carver, and most of all - a healthy baby girl!!
We feel very, very blessed.
We struggled a lot with her name until we decided to really focus on the meaning. So Ivy means "fidelity and eternity." Wynne means "pure" and it's a family name, as well as Welsh (Howell is Welsh). We are so grateful she's here!

congrats!! I've been catching up on your blog and wondering how I missed SOOO many postings!! The school stuff was so sweet it just made me cry and I KNOW I'm not hormonal! I must not be dead inside! Makes me so sad for all the growing up we're missing out on.
