I told Jake that I've been waiting for this moment for my whole life. Wondering what it will be like to give birth, to have a baby, to be a mom and now that time is now. I am so grateful for this opportunity and for this privilege to raise one of Heavenly Fathers priceless daughters!
It's funny cuz we really had no idea and still have no idea what we are doing. Everyday we are learning how to take better care of her and how to meet her needs. Maybe others are more prepared than we were/are...more ready to take care of her physical needs...but we are just babies ourselves when it comes to caring for her. It's hard and frustrating sometimes, it breaks my heart when she cries and cries and I don't know how to make her stop or how to soothe her, but it is all worth it when I see her just look up and me! When I burp her and she makes a funny face, when I cuddle her so much, when I kiss her little face (i know, i probably shouldn't do that), when I smell her on my hands as I go to bed. This is just the beginning of a beautiful journey and she has already brought Jake and I closer together. We are partners working towards the same exact goal like never before. I feel so close to him and we truly feel one.
I will tell of her birth story in a later post, but I just had to get my feelings down "on paper" before I get into details of how she was born. Thank you Heavenly Father!
Beautiful girl!
