Glad my tears are not the only ones around here!!
Congratulations seems like such a small word to express the joy I’m feeling for you and your new family, **TokyoPlayer**.
This isn’t the first time you’ve brought me to tears over the last two years–but how wonderful that THIS time, they are tears of joy!!
My daughter wanted to add her congratulations as well!!

Treasure every moment (as though…). They don’t stay tiny newborns more’n five minutes, tops. But every day of growing and changing brings a new joy to treasure instead.
Be happy and proud (as though, again). _Urendi Maleldil._

_Ho‘omaika‘i ‘ana_ all around! She’s such a sweet little thing! Such a lovely name too, I’m so happy for you **TokyoPlayer**! Oh how I wish I could send gifts.
Such a blessed day we’ve all been waiting for with held breath. She has many happy aunties and uncles all around the world all smiling for her and you and the whole family.
I hope she makes you and mommy smile every day of your lives. 🙂

I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy in all my years here at the Dope to see another thread!
I’ve followed your troubles and heartbreaks and concerns, and have looked daily for the good news that Beta-Chan had arrived. And here she is! And she is beautiful! And **TokyoWife** has no business at all looking so good so soon after a C-section.
And you just look so incredibly joyous, and your writing has made me _and_ my two oldest daughters cry!
Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!

I’m glad to hear that after some panic, all is well and your little one is here and safe. Congratulations and many happy times to all of you.

I saw this this morning and haven’t had time to do more than grin in the direction of the dope all day.
Congrats! I got sniffly when I read about Anya’s arrival! Very happy for you, TokyoWife and your daughter. 🙂

Anya, welcome to this big beautiful world. I’m so very happy you have joined us. You are loved, and celebrated, the world over.
May you lead a long (but not particularly _interesting_) life, full of health, peace and joy.
