  1. Cathy seems like an amazing lady. I'm so glad you have an awesome support team during something like that! It was fun seeing you all last night and finally meeting little Henry. I think it's our turn to have you guys over, let us know when you're up to it!
    P.S. Your empty cup post made me cry, as always beautifully written Holls.

  2. Holly, you are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Loved reading about Henry's arrival and very glad you have a skilled midwife to get him here safely. Henry (and Tally) are so lucky to have you as their mommy.
