Our New Miracle


I can't even believe it. Every new baby seems like such a little miracle, but I had never actually witnessed a birth until yesterday watching Jessica. I was able to be there through it all, and it was such an emotionally intense experience. Jessica went natural, which was really important to her and we're all so happy it worked out that way. I was amazed at Jessica's control. She was so admirable. I am hesitant to even blog about this because it was just such a sweet and spiritual time. I'm usually okay at finding words for my feelings, but I don't even know what to say. I'm so grateful for the chance I have to be an aunt to yet another one of God's beautiful children. I'm so grateful Jessica and Tyler allowed me to be there for the special experience. I'm so grateful she's here all safe and sound and absolutely beautiful.
