eight years ago right now i was laying in a hospital bed... there were lights, doctors, nurses, machines, EVERY where. some husky nurse was intervening as cheer leader at my feet, mark was turning pasty white by my head (just kidding) and sweet doctor carroll laid an incredibly complete human soul in my arms and said, "her she is!" i really did NOTHING to get her here. besides incubate her for 39 6/7 weeks. labor for 14 hours and push for 3. but who remembers details like that 8 years later? um... the mom. but when you look at the baby laying in your arms you wonder, "where did this come from?" who did all the work to knit this precious bundle together? and where the *&^% is the "how to manual" that you are sending home with me to mold and shape the mind and soul of a PERSON!!?? a person that you are calling MINE. i am not sure i can do this! i can't even really ensure that she is getting nutrition. and that poop looks like NOTHING i've seen in my WHOLE life... and all the cords and wrinkles under that diaper freak.me.out. every square inch of my body is shaking from what it just endured and you are telling me to wake up and feed this screaming... blue eyed, blond headed, perfectly round faced, red lipped, katherine suzanne?
it was a whirl wind.
it still is a whirl wind.
this delightful, blue eyed, blond headed, perfectly round faced, red lipped, katherine suzanne, warms our home and our hearts with her very presence. her sensitive spirit, and old soul make people stop in their tracks and do a double take.
katie, we are humbled and honored to call ourselves your parents. we wait with anticipation and GREAT hope to see what our sweet Savior will continue to do IN and THROUGH you!
smooch,
mama and daddy
enjoy the pics from our fun filled day of celebrating!!
