Reflections

Many times during the first week, Tom and I would remark to each other how we can't believe that we have a daughter, a child, a baby.. and that this precious bundle that lays before us is actually ours. We are loving her size (so tiny), her grunts (lol) and her facial expressions, whether intentional (grimace) or unintentional (smiles, laughs during sleep). We are so thankful to God for this gift and we hope that we can be good stewards of this living creature. We want to enjoy every moment and be flexible, not taking things too seriously and also to value the more important things in life. I personally look forward to seeing her grow and how her personality will develop. Lastly, we are thankful for our family and friends who will journey with us and help raise this child because it does take a village.
