August 29

I got to hold this little beauty earlier today. I'm going to call her my little semi-namesake ;).

My friend Nikki delivered her this morning. I waited until she gave me the all-clear, and went over to visit as soon as I could after I'd picked up the kiddos from school and settled them at home.

There's just so much promise that comes with a new baby; so many unknowns and such excitement. As I sat there holding her, I remembered my own deliveries at the very same hospital and was surprised by how vibrant and real the memories felt. More than once, I had to choke back emotion.

This life is a blessing. I know we all get frustrated, but wow. We've all been given such an enormous gift. It's a gift to just be.
