Well, she did it. Or should I say we did it. Baby Elizabeth made her debut last Tuesday (Sept 27th at 9:23 pm). She was 9 days late. When we went to our doctor’s appointment that morning he decided it was time, so I headed down to Labor and Delivery at 11am—fast forward 10 hours and 23 minutes later we have:
Baby Elizabeth:
A couple Proud Parents
Look at that face:
One ecstatic Mommy:
I could ramble on for hours about how much I love this little bundle of joy. The flood of emotions I feel when I look at her still brings me to tears. I knew I was going to love her from the very begining but no one could have prepared me for the way your heart swells when you look at the life you created. This is by far the most important thing I have ever done in my life. I will post more on my labor and delivery a little later but for now here are some other proud people:
Daddy:
Grandpa:
Grandma:
Auntie:
And Daddy again:

Parenting–You love them more than life itself and want everything for them. You hurt for them, want to make everything easy….You aren’t their friend but their parent (of course you don’t know as much as their friends and other people either). At times it hurts and at times you feel they are going away–you want so much for them. But isn’t that your job…to work your way out of a job as a parent? Wish you could just hold them forever and make everything perfect.
Do you remember this post? I said you would fully understand this after holding Your Baby. She is so special, and we love her deeply.
