Sweet Miracle

Our newborn baby is quickly becoming just a baby, and not so new anymore. Sure she's only four weeks old, but really that's getting up there already. It's amazing how quickly the time goes by. On one hand it seems like just yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital after I had to be induced two weeks early because my fluid level was too low, and on the other hand it feels like she has been a part of our lives forever, perfectly, just like my delivery when she was born. All in all, we feel so blessed to have her. I couldn't have asked for things to go more smoothly at the hospital, and for the most part, things have gone so well since we've been home. She is a miracle, our sweet miracle, meant to be a part of our family. That's for sure. I think about how we could have lost her in the beginning of the pregnancy with the special circumstances back then, and then to have her come early because of the fluid level, NICU team in place, and not needing them at all, and also having her cord wrapped around her neck, not once, but twice. When I think of all these things it just makes me feel so amazingly blessed to have her here with me and healthy. I love my little miracle, I do.

These are some of the pictures from her newborn session when she was nine days old. If I could I would post them all. I love every single picture. Kellie with Elements Photography does such an amazing job capturing the beauty and innocence of a newborn baby. I'm glad she was able to get these priceless pictures. I think I'll have to post some more later.
