There is a sweet song sung by Barbra Streisand called "Jenny Rebecca, Four Days Old" that I've heard since I was little. Here I've got a video of my mom singing it to Evelyn when she was four days old. Precious. (Don't mind the hiccups and the pooing that little Evy does during the video.)
Well, darn, after posting this I realize you can't really hear my mom very well. Here are the lyrics:
Jenny Rebecca, four days oldHow do you like the world so far?Jenny Rebecca, four days oldWhat a lucky, lucky, luckyLucky girl you areFor you have swings to be swung onTrees to be climbed upDays to be young onToys you can wind upGrass to be lying onSun up abovePillows for crying onWhen you're in love
Ponies for riding onWind in your hairSlides to be sliding onLeaves in the airDolls to be caring forLove to be givingDreams to be daring forLong as you're livingYes, you haveDreams to be daring forLong as you're livingJenny Rebecca, four days oldWhat a lucky, lucky, luckyLucky girl you are...

Precious!
She is darling and looks just like Maggie. Congrats!
She is adorable! What a great addition to your family!
Oh, Evelyn! You are so sweet and little! Jenny, I love the song and all the meaning behind it for you and your family. And I love how you captured it on video. However, I must say that my new favorite thing about your blog is the new family picture on the right. Awesome. Simply awesome. So glad Evelyn is here.
Congrats! We are so happy for you guys!!! We would love to bring you dinner - Jeff will be calling Alan soon :-)
I've sung that to both of my girls as their names fit. I should have known you would also know that song! She is beautiful.
