beautiful blessing

i can't believe it's been almost a year since we found out we were going to become parents, and now our baby girl is 4 months old! last year on the 17th we took the test and it was positive.  it was the best birthday gift i've ever had and it was two days early!  who can beat that, an early gift and a baby?!  we were so excited, but held it in until christmas.  except i had to tell someone so i called my best friend, hillary that night.  but other than her it was mums the word till christmas day.  talk about a hard secret to keep!  but we kept it and totally suprised our families.  mostly because on the 14th we went to dinner with my parent and in-laws and told them we were trying, but no success yet.  little did we know 3 days later our minds would be blown.  anyway,  here's our first sonogram of our little bean.

ten weeks and very tiny!

now here's our chunky beautiful baby girl.

look at those gorgeous blue eyes.  just like her daddy's.  i just can't believe she's four months old.  i can't imagine my life without her anymore.  she's the best little baby.  she rarely cries and if she does, she calms down very easily.  she's a wonderful sleeper and a just such a sweet happy girl.  she's starting to laugh and it's the best thing in the world.  she truly lights up my days and ALWAYS puts a smile on my face. we have an amazing family full of love and support for her.  we are so thankful for them.  looking at her makes me wonder how people can look at babies and not believe there is a God that created them.  they are just some of the best miracles He blesses us with.  i AM so thankful for her.
