“Eric and I had both of our families and some of our best friends there to welcome her, it was very special,” says Simpson, 38. “When my doctor went back to the waiting room to deliver thenews that Birdie had arrived healthy, they apparently cheered so loud you could hear it all the way to the next unit of the hospital.”
“Maxwell and Ace were definitely the most excited. They were asking every 2 minutes if she had been born yet and could theypleasejust go to meet her,” she continues, adding of her loved ones’ estimates onBirdie’s weight (which ended up being10 lbs., 13 oz.!), “Every single one of them guessed over 10 lbs.!

“They were incredibly gentle with her and just wanted to hold her and kiss her,” she says. “They had made her welcome signs and chosen their own gifts for her that they brought in when they met her for the first time. Tosee them love her instantlytruly melted my heart.”
That love doesn’t seem hard to give, considering the fact that the newborn has the “cutest dimples” — even though the sweetness also comes with “a powerful set of lungs,” her mom admits.
