I feel like I’ve been waiting to write this post forever… even though our sweet girl actually surprised us all by being two weeks early!

She is absolutely perfect in every way.img_20161005_110215-01-02 I’ve once again been struck with that overwhelming, tear-jerking love that only a mother can feel for her child. She has already filled our home and hearts with so much joy._mg_5776

She was a missing piece to our family puzzle, and I’m so grateful that she arrived here safe and sound. Our older girls are completely infatuated with her, and love holding and kissing her all day long.img_20161005_140722I feel closer than ever to my little family, and I’m so especially grateful for my sweetheart, who cared for and supported me during this whole journey of pregnancy and birth. We had a long, but beautiful, labor and delivery, and I’m healing so well. Nella is strong and healthy, and we even got to come home from the hospital early.

We are so very blessed.
