8-24-10 - The greatest blessing EVER

This will be short, for good reason.  After a day like today, words are insufficient!  Andy started the day off with flowers - card read, "To my two girls, I love you!"


Our beautiful baby girl was born today at 12:48 via c-section.  She weighed 8 lbs 7 ounces and was 20 inches long.  She has lots of really dark hair and her skin looks like it will be more like mine than Andy's.  She is absolutely gorgeous.  When she was born she screamed SO loud - even the doctors and nurses commented on her having strong lungs!  I said it was because her Daddy was a singer, and she would be a singer too! :)






First time I hold her....I am so amazed.  Today I walked into the hospital a woman, but I left the delivery room a mother.  There is a vast difference between the two.  I have never been more keenly aware of another person and anxious to know everything about them as I was when I heard her cries for the first time.  I don't know, maybe I can't explain it properly.....well, I know I can't explain it properly - it's astounding - you don't have to be prodded to love your baby, they offer nothing in return (at that moment), but God just does this miracle in your heart. 


Proud Daddy pushes her back to our room to meet everyone!


My Daddy loves me instantly!
