Finley Grace Moffett arrived at 8:41 on January 28, 2012, and it was love at first sight for all of us (even though my first view was of her covered in white goo, so maybe I should say for me it was love at first cry). She weighed in a 2.95 k, and 50 cm (6 lb 5 oz, 19 3/4 inches). 
Nate brought Will to meet her yesterday afternoon, and he was super excited - he wanted to "hold baby sister", and had brought a couple of toys for her - balls, of course. While holding her, he kept kissing her head - without prompting, and talking about her dirty hair. (They don't do baths here until after the baby is 24 hours old.) Then he proceeded to poke her in the eye, pinch her nose and tickle her feet. I think he is going to be a great big brother, in all senses of the role.
We can't wait for all of you to meet her! Thanks for all your love and prayers that helped us make it all the way to 38 weeks - she is perfect and healthy and only 2 weeks early.

Oh wow...oh wow! That e-mail was the best thing I could have woken up to! She is so, so beautiful, with a wonderful name to match.
You, by the way, are also looking quite fabulous.
Will is going to be a pain sometimes, but the sibling relationship is such a cool thing to watch unfold. Finley's lucky to have him.
Wait...is it Finley or Grace? hahaha :)

Congratulations on your new little bundle of joy. After I had a son and then a daughter, someone told me I had a million dollar family. I agree.
I see that even on the other side of the world, they still use the same ugly hospital gowns. You wear it well though :)
yeah, i came back for another peek at her :).
this is not helping me NOT really want a girl next.
Congratulations! Enjoy your new little bundle of pink!
What a beautiful, little baby--so worth the wait and worry. I'll bet Grandma can't wait to meet her.
