Now that "Baby Q" has arrived, we decided to start documenting Acadia's life on a new website. "The Journey of Baby Q," including the photo pages, will continue to function.

To see pictures from Cadi's first month of life, use the following links:

Welcome Acadia

See Me Grow!

I love your little "monkey toes" ! Nana will be so impressed to see that you can spread your toes apart like she can. Mommy and Avarie can do it, too!

I can't believe that you are already 3 1/2 days old. . .

Welcome to the world, Acadia Madelaine! You made your grand entrance at 2:26 PM on Wednesday, September 3. At birth, you weighed 6 lbs, 6 oz and measured 19 3/4 inches.

I can't wait to tell you all about your beautiful delivery. It was a special experience for Mommy, Daddy, big sister Avarie and, of course, YOU!

We're in labor, Baby Q! I am so excited. Our contractions are about 10 minutes apart. I can feel you wiggling between some of them. I can't wait to meet you!
