Getting the call - heading to the hospital
Unloading in Labor & Delivery ~ prepared for the long haul
The labor inducer ~ pitocin = growing misery
Labor survival ~ dinosaur strength (thoughts of John) and my music
The 1st cries of an angel
Deddy and his sweet pea ~ love at 1st sight
Mama & her lil' girl ~ so glad to finally look in those eyes
NOT a 9lb 6oz baby ~ glad the dr's were right :)
Nana
Pappaw
Calling Ella while holding my Ella
Getting checked out ~ a healthy lil' girl
Heading to post-partum
Pop-Pop ~ he kissed me & John goodnight on my birthday...what a blessed guy :)
Resting w.Mama ~ her love falling all over me
Taking it all in
Aunt Shannon ~ coming late night against Mama's advisement :) (she was excited to meet me!)
BJ ~ Mama's boss and friend (mostly the latter)
My 'pink lemonade' hat Mama made while on bedrest
Resting before discharge ~ what a morning
The 'going home' outfit ~ laid out & ready
Ready to go home
So proud & happy ~ homebound at last
Deddy & Ella ~ finally home
Fur sibling introductions ~ Chester
BABY SISTER!
Ella's 1st serenade via John ~ Jesus Loves Me (heart be still)
After my 1st dr. appt ~ said I didn't have to come back till 1 month old!
John helping Mama
Kissing baby sister ~ the love & fascination so apparent
We're home and slowly settling. In some moments it seems as if everything has changed, but in the next it feels that things are just as they should be. There's a peace in having our lil' girl here to love & hold that has fallen over us. Counting our blessings and soaking up our lil' angel head to toe. As if we needed further proof - God indeed is so good, ever proving His great love & faithfulness...
You're in my heart, that's not close enough...
