I’d like to introduce you to my new favorite little human who made her grand arrival this week. Welcome to the world, baby Peanut!:

baby Murphy at the hospital

Murphy Jane Pothier
May 2, 2023
8lb. 5oz.
20 inches long

From the time Max and Abby called from the hospital at 5:45am to tell me they were in labor, my heart was beating right outside of my chest. I’m not super proud of how I elbowed my way out of that airplane to get to that hospital as fast as I possibly could. But I’m here to say it was pure heaven to walk into that room and get that baby in my arms.

There is not much better than watching your son become a dad.

He and Abby are the two most natural and glowing parents ever and little peanut is the most breathtaking baby I’ve seen.

welcome to the world, brand new Baby Murphy

So many more details coming next week. And also on Instagram today. As you can imagine, my phone is spilling out the seams with photos of this little girl after a few sacred days that I got to be with Murphy and her mom and dad. But I couldn’t wait to share.

Welcome to the world, dear baby Murphy! We love you more than words can say!

We have been waiting with so much anticipation for this little girl’s grand arrival. Other “Peanut” posts, before and after her big welcome to the world:
