Hey all! What a crazy and surreal last few days! I have to keep pinching myself just to make sure this is all real and I'm not dreaming! I'm really someone's MOMMY!! I am so thankful for this little miracle.
My mom and Uncle Harry arrived yesterday. They are so thrilled to have Emily here. (Proud Grandma and Great Uncle Harry)
We gave Emily her first sponge bath last night...she wasn't very happy during the whole ordeal, but afterward, we got her dressed in her ni-night, and it was all smiles.
We also bought her a swing yesterday. We hadn't planned on buying one at all, I just didn't see the point. (maybe it's because I get motion sickness and assumed she might do the same) It wasn't until Daddy calmed her time and time again by cradle rocking her, that I decided she loved the motion and it was a necessity!! (Always got to be moving like Daddy)
I can't say that I would give up any of the experiences that we have gone through so far, not even the late night bobbing of my head during feedings...it is all worth it, when at the end of the day, (or the beginning in this case) you can sit there and look into the eyes of the most beautiful creation on earth and just stare in amazment at the little miracles God gives us.....
How could anyone ever say that there isn't a God?

WOW!!!! She is beautiful! We have been blessed in a marvelous way. Can't wait to hold her and let her hear Grandads voice. Then rock her, feed her a bottle and give her to Rich to witness this changing diaper event. I love you all very much! Give Emily a hug and kiss from us in Texas.
ReplyDeleteOK, now everyone knows how technically challenged Grandad is. I posted and it some how came from Nana star. Of course, we both feel the same way anyhow! Tell Emily, Grandad can't wait to see her in person for all the love I can give.
ReplyDeleteBobbing head feedings are the best!
ReplyDeleteYou guys all looks great! I hope there is a wedding in the family soon so we'll get to see Emily in person.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and lots of love,
Colleen and Jim
