It's A Girl~

There is nothing like the sweet, sweet love of holding a baby. Especially on the day she's born. Oh my gosh-- I am so in love.

Laurynn Nicole is the most beautiful thing I think I've ever seen. (Except of course her two siblings, which have equal place in my heart). Not like my job was ever tough, but there's something extra special about it now.

It's been two days and I'm still on a high from seeing her for the first time. I can't help myself from opening my cell phone several times an hour to look at her. Just to check--yep, still awe inspiring and perfect.

I can't quite form coherent sentences. I'm still not over the initial flood of emotion at seeing her, at holding her, this tiny little person who just days before I had felt fluttering around in another person!! I don't know how anyone can experience the miracle of childbirth and not believe in God. She is beautiful, she is healthy, she is pure joy all wrapped up in pink!

This is what life is about. These are the moments that make everything else worthwhile. This gift, these children that I am so privileged to take care of, that is the real beauty in the world. Often times I forget how great my life really is, and then something like this happens. It reaches out and grabs your heart and you don't ever want it to let go.
