le bebe royal: poppy beatrice

poppy beatrice royal
poppy beatrice royal

sorry for the long silence on my end…things have been quite, shall we say, “interesting”. hah!

it was a long, challenging end-of-pregnancy and a pretty harrowing birth (particularly for her momma!), but me and the mister got the greatest gift EVER at the end of it all: our new little baby girl, poppy beatrice. she was finally born on 8/19.

it may continue to be quiet ’round these parts for a little while, as we all get adjusted to our new lives with one another. :)

thanks for all your well-wishes and kindnesses. i miss you all tremendously.

    WOOT!

    Congratulations Tricia! She’s absolutely gorgeous – so pleased to hear that all is well, and to meet your beautiful wee girl!
    Poppy is such a brilliant name, in fact it’s one I’ve always been fond of, should a little lady choose to bestow herself upon me one day…..

    Lots of love to all three of you, and here’s to a good long, well deserved rest!

    When I saw these photos on flickr the other day I just gasped and was so excited that Miss Poppy (perfect name by the way) had finally made her debut. I couldn’t help but to think about how fast it all seemed to happen… reading your blog for so long, then hearing about your pregnancy and watching you grow in shape and with the excitement we all felt. I know time will fly and soon enough we will see her in little dresses and tottering around creating magic. I can’t wait! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart.

    She’s the best thing you’ve ever made. I hope you feel proud! You are very lucky to have such a beautiful daughter and she is just as lucky to have such a wonderful mama. Congratulations!
