A Fable Tale
Guest posted by BMC
LOOKIE HEA! It is my most genuine honor to introduce to you Fable Luella, born this morning to Rebecca, Hal, Archer, and the interwebs. I have never met her, but I will love her as my own, as will you. Look at those lips! Are you kidding me?
For you contest-winners, the details you want to know are these:
October 2
3:23am
7 pounds 4oz
18 1/2 inches
Welcome to this crazy place, Fable. May you live a long and prosperous one, replete with riches of love and a solid retirement plan. You have won the Mommy-lottery, my darling. And your dad's OK, too. Be nice to Archer, for he is your guide here and will teach you well.
Welcome, welcome, welcome, little baby. We are happy to have you.
Rebecca called me yesterday mid-morning and informed me that her doctor informed her that with a break of the waters, she would be good as back in her Manolos by morning. He did not lie. She was calm, ready, and Rebecca as ever. A stoic warrior goddess in Prada. Everyone is doing very, very well. Bec describes Fable as "to die gorgeous" and swears to Rockabye that she will be right back here with photographs, birth stories, placenta pics (just kidding), and her usual brand of heartbreakingly perfect wordistry just as soon as she gets out of the hospital.
Congratulations, my loves. Kisses on all your faces.
Let the comment frenzy begin!

Oh, Fable is such a beautiful and ethereal name! Reminds me of a magical faerie child dancing in the moonlight through misty fields of lavender and sage. *Sigh*
May her life be filled with light and laughter, awash with love and tenderness.
My deepest congratulations to you and your family:)
(Also, in that second pic, she looks very much like her big brother- I think it's something about the eyes)

She is just beautiful. I hope I can meet her in person one day.
Rebecca, Hal, and Archer:
Congrat's on the birth of the lovely Miss Fable! She is one of the most stunning infants I have ever seen (she rivals my own 3), and thats not common coming from this old mothers mouth.
I hope that everyone is doing well and that your newly added to family falls into what I like to call the mesh of family-hood as quickly as possible.
Be well, and enjoy! Before you blink you will be crying as she leaves on her first date!
congrats! I can't believe that she's here. I started reading your blog like a week or two before you announced you were pregnant. Enjoy these first days with your beautiful daughter.
unbelievably beautiful. I love the name! Congrats, and I hope to see you all at treehouse sometime soon!
I've been reading and very much enjoying your writing in (lazy) anonymity for a while now, but just had to emerge to send congratulations. So precious, so perfect, and such a beautiful name!
Congratulations! I am glad to hear that the whole family is doing well! Lucky you for having such a beautiful daughter (and son)... Those of hers lips are so kissable!
Good luck in the upcoming weeks.
And did I win? I think I won.. =)
Absolutely beautiful! Like mother, like daughter :) Congrats to the whole family
She is absolutely gorgeous! Fable... what a great name, and it goes so well with Archer. Congratulations!
Awww, what a sweetie. Look at that perfect little nose! And those lips are so smoochable. How will you not eat her alive??
Congratulations! Can't wait to hear the story and see more pics.
She's beautiful! She gives that Shiloh Jolie-Pitt a run for her money, that's for sure. Congratulations Becca!
