Our snowflake girl is here! (birth mentioned)

Our little girl was born on July 22, 2014 at 7:39 am. She came to us through the miracle of embryo adoption and we could not be more grateful that this option exists. I posted photos and a little more detail on PAIF if anyone is interested in popping over there to read.
