Happy As Can Be!

As if she is not cute enough look at how she lays... :)

She is so precious- more and more by the day- It is amazing how God changes our hearts in such a dramatic ways- not caring that you are up all night (well mostly doing it graciously)- how our heart changes instantly to love with all we are- as much as I can imagine this is as close, and even this is a far distance, as His love for us. The blessing of being able to care for EVERY need this baby has- feeding, diapers, and most of all love... No one could have told me - this has been one of the most wonderful experiences and by far the most rewarding- I am forever in-dept and grateful to Him for this reward...

Hanging around the house

Yeah... I rule this house now... takes a lot of work..

Mommy can not center a picture...
Loving my swing....

My firsts... time in my crib... in my swing... and hanging out on the couch ...

Daddy's Hat

My giftsThis says my favorite things - Daddy

Hi Everyone,

I am home- Yippie !!! No more nurses poking me. I am perfect... and beautiful :)



Daddy's work had a surprise party for me today... THANK- YOU everyone-



I love Daddy in the hat and so does mommy (mommy especially)



I am doing a good job of keeping mommy up at night and with a 3 day weekend coming-up Daddy too.



I have been more active today and giving mommy and daddy the gas smiles - mom wants to think they are more than gas but they are still soooo cute...

Just Pictures !!!

Daddy and his daughter
Gramma and Hannah - I think she is pinching her
Cute little feet !
I am amazed at the hair :)




Mommy and Hannah are still in Gainesville... Hannah is doing well- still some minor complications, nothing with her lung - she is jaundice and receiving some "light therapy" we hope (and pray) that we will be home on Wednesday- Daddy went home this evening and back to work on Monday... Here are a few more pictures of Hannah... Looking forward to our "new family" being together at home :)

1 Day Old !

Here she is in a cute outfit from Gramma... She is so precious!

Thank-you all for the prayers...

Happy Birthday to ME !

Mommy and Hannah!

"Our Family "

Daddy and Hannah !

AHHH !!! What just happened?

Look at all the hair

Minutes Old





After 25 hours of labor I have arrived! I am currently in NICU- a few complications... I am 6 lbs 11 oz 18 1/4 inches... I and I am cute as a PRINCESS! My official arrival time 9:25 a.m. on August 22... a day Mommy and Daddy will never forget.





Hannah has already been a blessing... she is so precious... I know I am the mommy so I am a bit partial but I think she is beautiful. All 25 hours were SO very worth this beautiful baby. I have never felt "instant" love ... but God graced me with the experience this morning. I just have been looking at her and taking her all in - her nurse says she looks like me... I see it in some ways but I think she looks a lot like herself... I never knew I could love someone or something as I love her... and Thank the Lord for her ... I am excited for the time I can hold her and love her as I would like ...
