to Him be the glory: October 2014

Our baby girl is now 6.5 weeks old which blows my mind. It goes by so fast! I have already packed away her newborn clothes and filled her drawers with 0-3 / 3M clothes. I will admit that I did cry while doing so.

We welcomed her into this world on September 2nd, 2014 (she came on her own right on her scheduled due date - is she her mommy's baby or what?) at 2:50 pm weighing 7 lbs 11 oz and 20.5 inches long. A very smooth and fairly quick delivery, with a perfectly healthy baby + mommy. We are blessed. The minute she came out and they put her on my chest, I felt a love I've never felt before - it was truly the single best moment of my life. To see a child that is half of you and half of the love of your life, is the most amazing feeling in the world. I just cried and cried while I stared at her. (I still can't stop staring at her!)

Here are a few pictures from her birth (excuse the lovely swollen and exhausted mama - I hadn't slept in 36-48 hours by the time I gave birth!)
