It feels so appropriate that my last blog post was a 41-week pregnancy update, and I’m jumping back in after two weeks off from blogging to share the news of our little family addition! Jane Emerson Bowler was born on Friday, January 20th at 6:04pm after quite a few days of laboring, restless nights, doctor’s visits, and a surprise C-section for her grand finale! She is the absolute best 8 lb bundle of love that has ever existed (okay, I may be biased). We have been learning our new “normal” over the past two weeks, getting in lots of snuggles and sniffs of that delicious newborn baby smell in between a few sleepless nights. I’ve got lots of big plans to share a full birth story, posts about what I packed in my hospital bag, and how we’re surviving these first few weeks. But for now, I’ll leave with you a few candid pictures from the selection of hundreds I’ve already taken on my iPhone! Welcome to the world Miss Jane! 
I could look at these pics all day! So happy for you both! Jane is just the cutest ever!! <3
Blogger in training!

What a beauty! And I know Jane’s Aunt Mara is so proud of her because she just told me so! I have worked with your sister in the past on a Disney World promotion and think the world of her. Your blog is beautiful – full of wonderful looking recipes – and now this little cherub to admire as well! I’m signing up to follow! Best wishes with this sweet baby – the joy of your life!
Thanks so much for following Joyce!
