Oh my! She looks so precious and content, what a beautiful baby! Enjoy the nursing, it is tiring but truly it is a special time. Congratulations!

She's beautiful. Congratulations, Mum and Dad.

congratulations,she is heavenly.

So beautiful! Remember to take a little bit of time every day just for you, new mom! :)

Many many wonderful wishes for your family!

She's just stunning...makes me want a 5th one. On second thought, maybe not, but I'm sure she'll bring you much joy. These are the best times..enjoy her.

She's already changed so much! I swear, I can feel my milk letting down just thinking of those early and special days. Enjoy every second.

Congrats on Miss Meli!! She is beautiful and perfect! Congrats!! And welcome to the world little Meli!

So sweet! My babies are about to turn 17 and 11. But your photo off Meli took me right back to those first weeks. Enjoy!!!!

call me later!

I love this picture

Nothing like the look of a baby drunk on the boobjuice.

Congratulations again, she's gorgeous.

She is absolutely divine. What a beautiful baby. Congratulations on going home. Enjoy!

Congrats again, Cara! I love, love, love a newborn's fingers. Get some sleep and nurse that little one - she is adorable! Hugs and kisses to all.

She's so lovely. Hooray for milk bliss, and hooray for coming home! Congratulations again.

I didn't comment on the previous post because I didn't make it to the party until the room was already packed... but I'm so glad for you, Cara and Georgie, and for little Meli (she's definitely got a good set of parents!)
Cara, I've been following your journey for quite some time, and I'm so proud of you. Your daughter is beautiful, and I wish your new family so much joy! (And laugher and patience, don't forget those.)
Her little fingernails are so precious!

Awww :-)

OMG!!! Cute cute cutie! Congrats girl.

Congrats! She's beautiful.

I'm a long time lurker - just have to speak up and say congratulations!!! She is just beautiful! I am glad that you are all doing well!

She is soooo beautiful! Look at those precious, chubby cheeks!

OMG, isn't she just the most precious, adorable baby? Happy times for you. Keep those pictures coming!

Love, love, love; Georgie, Cara, Meli.
Wishing you a wonderful homecoming with your new family.

Cara, this is going to sound really strange but I have to say it.... As I am sure you know there is nothing as wonderful in the entire universe as the smell of a newborn... you simply cannot put it into words, bottle it, or re-capture it. I can still remember that wonderful intoxicating scent. Take deep breaths of her because it goes away quickly. Hope you don't think I'm strange, but honestly its not something that you can re-capture and you'll be glad with all the fuss and hubbub that you concentrated for just an extra moment on creating that memory. :)
Enjoy!

What a girl! What a sweet, sweet girl! Congratulations.

Aww... isn't she amazing? Congratulations to you both!

Good job Mom and Dad! She is beautiful!

Holy smack could she BE any more precious? Way to reproduce!

Awww. Look at those little fingers! So sweet.

MELI IS IN THE HOUSE!

She really is an adorable baby! Congratulations again!!!!

ooohh I wanna kiss her *muach*
congratulations again, she's beautiful!

She is absolutely gorgeous, right down to her name. Good job Cara!

You've made a beautiful baby! Congratulations, again.

You and hubby did great! Adorable isnt the word for that pic. Hmmm, do I detect knitter's or spinner's fingers on your daughter?

Love the sleeping babe shots. Congrats again! Hope you are home by now enjoying the baby and relaxing!

I've been lurking forever and a day...but I just had to say, she is absolutely lovely. So beautiful.

Congratulations to the whole family!

It can be so amazingly hard at first, but it will get easier and she is so lovely. Sounds like things are going well. Very best to all of you.

:)

She's beautiful!!!

We always called that the milk coma...so sweet! Glad to hear all is well. Hope settling in goes smoothly and your recovery is as good as it can be! I mean, it's never any fun, but then you see that little beauty and it makes it all worth it, for sure!

Ah, kid knows a good thing when she sees it! Both my kids have been boobie-addicts:)

I mean... really.... I can't stand the cuteness!!!! She's just so precious!

Look at those fingers! Those are knitter's fingers!

Or the fingers of a concert pianist.

What a cutie patootie! Enjoy her and remember to rest yourself. Congratulations to all of you!

Great pic.

Look at those cheeks fill out -- already!
She is so wonderful.
I am glad that her mother is going to be taking amazing pictures of Meli, and that we get to see a few. When Meli's mother is a little less sore and tired, of course.

Meli's mother -- that's you, Cara! Weird, huh? But true! No, the hospital did not make a mistake, and yes, they're sending her home with you and your husband -- here you go! PARENTS!

It'll be great. Trust yourselves. And her.

What a precious picture!

Congratulations, Cara and Georgie. Meli is gorgeous!

Your daughter is just breath-taking! Enjoy this magical time, but don't stress -- there's magic at every stage.

You and my sister had the exact same due date, March 23, and we are eagerly awaiting my nephews arrival. We got a pool going, $5 buy in and the pot is close to $80!

Your babe is a darling, congratulations!

Don't you feel like you now know the definition of a "miracle"? Sleeping satisfied baby....so special. Our DIL had her baby girl on the 13th!

Lord, that's an adorable photo....

Hard to improve on perfection. She's lovely.

There is nothing like being a mother. Congratulations and best Wishes, sharon

I am so very happy for you all. Life will never be the same, only bliss. She is so very lovely.

oh so snuggly!

Good for you and your baby nursing!!! She is so lovely.

I'm so happy for you. And so happy she's got the hang of nursing. She's just beautiful. I'm guessing she's going to be one of the world's most photographed babies!!!

I'm so very happy for you! The photo is adorable. I know this baby will be well loved.

Those beautiful baby photos are like smack! I'm addicted! Congratulations on your beautiful little girl. I hope you recover quickly and enjoy each other very much [and give yourself the grace for those less-than-totally-enjoyable days].

There's nothing better than a good milk drunk! Look at that contented little face ...

I have never met you, but I am so happy for you! She is a beautiful child. I've been reading with anticipation for the big day, and it's great to see everything come off trouble-free.

Congratulations, mom!! Oh gosh, I remember when my milk came in and I felt like a porno star. I went to the nurses on duty at the hospital and complained about the plastic surgeon who had given me a boob job in the night. The dry German nurses thought I was serious. :)
Just remember from here on out it just gets easier!
Hugs from Berlin!

Miss Meli, what a beauty. Congratulations.

It's all already been said... but I'll add my congratulations and best wishes for quantity's sake. She's beautiful... and definitely brought to my mind the memory of baby fragrance, and suckling sensations.

Aw, she's lovely! Well done!

She looks like one happy baby. Love to you ALL!

I had resigned myself that at age 50 I no longer wanted a newborn in my life (at least one that I birthed). But looking at the photos of the soft cheek and remembering the wonderful warm powdery smell makes me nostalgic. Nursing is an adventure but such a good one. I'm glad to hear that everything went well and you all are doing well. Happy times!

Congratulations on a beautiful little girl.

I just cannot stop looking at those fingers. Those are serious "doing something with them for life" fingers on that babe!

Congratulations! I am so happy for you all!

A precious angel...you do good work, Mom & Dad! Lots of love to you all!

When you look at that picture, you know life is good.
Congratulations to this lucky baby girl and her parents!

it is such a privilege for you to share Meli with us - lucky you and George and Meli!

Congratulations to you and George! Miss Meli is beautiful. And breastfeeding is something I miss so much... I don't miss being pregnant or having a baby, but if I could nurse another infant again, I'd do it in a hearbeat. Enjoy every minute, Cara, for as long as it works for you.

That is a beautiful picture. What a gorgeous little one!! Enjoy every minute-- and take lots of pictures. Congratulations again, Cara & George, and welcome to the world Miss Meli! :)

What an angel! thank you for sharing her sweet, little cherub face :)

BEAUTIFUL photo and KUDOS to you who has still had time to blog... WOW... :)

What an adorable little darling! I can imagine all the cute little baby names you will be calling her... so sweet, so perfect, such a lovely being. Thank you for sharing pictures of her...

She's beautiful! Congratulations

Look at those long fingers - she'll be a knitter for sure!

CONGRATULATIONS CARA AND GEORGIE! She is beautiful, just beautiful, and I am so, so happy for all three of you.

OMG. So beautiful.

She is so beautiful!

I love those wrinkled little fingers. Congratulations - what adventures you have ahead of you.

Oh, she is beyond beautiful! Congratulations to all of you!

Belateed congratulations! I can't believe I missed this post.

I'm going to miss the barf posts.

I have been away, but I wanted to stop in and say, CONGRATULATIONS! She is beautiful, Cara!

Lovely picture of a lovely baby!
Congrats and hugs.
