the most amazing…

the most amazing week ever! amazing is an understatement to describe the birth of our first child, gracie ruth. she joined our family on march 3rd at 1:58 in the afternoon weighing 7 pounds and 14 ounces measuring 21 inches long. it is so hard to believe that the moment we anticipated for 9 months has already happened and it was over a week ago…i don’t think i will ever be able to explain the joy i experienced at the first sight of my precious daughter, i will never forget the overwhelming thankfulness i have for being able to witness yet another of God’s miracles…

the most amazingLY challenging week ever! the tears have flowed this week out of exhaustion, humility, gratitude, awe and sheer helplessness at times trying to care for such a fragile and vulnerable being. jed has been an incredible rock of support and i have loved watching his heart break and soften daily for his little girl. i’m so in love with him and am encouraged to be a great mom through watching him as a father.
   


this is about all i can coherently articulate in this current state of overwhelming emotion! more to come on baby gracie…
