Daddy's Little Girl

We're approaching her fifth day of life, and Grace is doing great! She's especially fond of her Daddy. It's clear already that she's Daddy's Little Girl. She loves cuddling with him every chance she gets.

We're blessed to both be home with Grace. Martin will be home for 8 weeks, and I'll be home through the end of August. We will cherish every second of our time with our daughter. We are completely in awe of her. I find myself just staring at her, amazed that we created this little angel. Throughout my pregnancy, I wondered what it would be like to be a Mom. Would I be any good at it? Would I know how to take care of my child? I am overwhelmed by the maternal instincts I never knew I had. Even more, I'm overwhelmed by the depths of love I feel for my child and the deepening of my love for Martin as I share this experience of parenthood with him.
