John 16:21: Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.
Truer words have never been spoken. All of the complaints I’ve had this pregnancy – the back pain, the fatigue, the nausea, heartburn and sleepless nights have all faded away. The crazy, intense labor? All but forgotten.
Brett and I are thrilled to welcome our newest member of the Kennedy Kaboodle – Catherine Maeve Kennedy, born on June 1, 2012, at 4:30pm. She’s my petite girl, weighing in at 7 lbs, 11 oz, and 19 inches long.
We’re home – everyone is happy and healthy! All the siblings love her — Rachel sat today with her in the rocking chair, holding her and staring off into space.
I asked her what she was thinking about, and her reply was profound.
“It’s wonderful when you get what you wished for.”
Indeed, baby girl.
Thank you for all of the prayers, thoughts and warm wishes this weekend!

Oh, Rachel’s little comment literally brought tears to my eyes! Love, love, love, love, love.
Being there with you to witness this miracle was one of the most profound experiences of my life. Maeve will always hold a special place in my heart.
Congratulations on the birth of your daughter–looking forward to pics and updates as she grows!
Congratulations! Children are indeed a blessing from God!
Congratulations on the sweet, sweet girl! I can’t believe you’ve found energy enough to be blogging again already. I know I wouldn’t be able to handle that. Rest, take care of yourself and enjoy those kids of yours. Blessings, dear.
Precious beyond words. Congratulations on a new sweet daughter.
Congratulations! I’m glad that all went well and that mama and baby are doing well. 🙂
Wonderful… babies are so precious. I love a new born… as a grandma of six, had a few ‘moments’ rocking and cuddling these tiny ones. Our littlest was 2pds 11oz. Followed by twins at 4 pds each. Then a 5 pounder then two at near 7 pds.
All little in today’s baby weights.
Congratulations.
