Lucy Anne Timmerman, Here at Last!

It is with great joy and pride that Will and I welcomed our second child, Lucy Anne Timmerman on Tuesday morning, April 28, 2009. She weighed in at 7 pounds, 12 ounces and is 20 1/4 inches long. She has dark hair like her mom, feet just like her dad's, and a nose and mouth just like her big brother Luke. Her birth was a beautiful experience and we couldn't help but feel Luke's presence with us. It is our belief that before Lucy's spirit came to earth to grow in my tummy and arrive in our arms, Luke told her to pick up where he left off and make his parents happy. Our hearts are experiencing happiness like we have never known and a longing that we are still learning to live with every day. We long to hold both of our children, but know that Luke is connected to us more than ever through his little sister Lucy. We came home today from the hospital and the world greeted Lucy in a green spring splendor - everything is in bloom for our little girl. When we walked up to our front door, we saw the eight yellow tulips and two new pink tulips - Luke's gift to Lucy.

Without further ado, here's a few pictures we'd like to share with you of our beautiful daughter.
