Welcome to Motherhood!

So, I can easily say that this has been one of the hardest and one of the best weeks of my life. Being a new mom is not easy, but it is the most rewarding thing on this earth. I look at this little girl and I can't believe she is mine. That her dad and I created her. Well, God actually created her but we had a little something to do with it. I feel so incredibly lucky because she is our "angel baby". She is soo good! She hardly ever cries, eats good, sleeps good, she is just perfect! We are the luckiest parents in the world.

I don't know if you heard but Gracelyn arrived into this world after 55 hours of labor. Was it pleasant? Not so much, but you forget it all as soon as they place that baby on your chest. You realize in that second why people go through all of that pain over and over again. It truly makes you excited to do it again - I remember Ashley saying this in her blog after Caden was born - and I thought are you crazy? But now I get it. We aren't in any hurry, but it does definately make you want more kids. It is the most wonderful feeling in the world holding your child for the first time. She was sooooooo worth it!! And...she is also the most beautiful baby in the world! I know I am a little biased...but she is so darn cute. She looks just like her daddy! She is our little lovebug.
