On May 21st, 2011, Harry and I welcomed the most beautiful baby girl into our lives. Her name is Lucy.
I was told I would be amazed by how much I could love her, and I knew it would be true. Even so, I could have never imagined how wonderful it would be to meet her. From the moment Lucy arrived, we have been surrounded by an outpouring of support and love from our friends and family. We’ve had over 20 meals delivered to us, and we’ve had a steady flow of visitors, including my family from Michigan.
On Sunday, June 12, Lucy was baptized. My Mom and Dad were here to share in the joy of the occasion. Before Lucy’s baptism, Harry and I chose a life verse for her. The verse comes from Colossians 1:9-10, it’s a powerful parenting passage that we will pray over her as she grows. This passage says, “For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way.”

You never wanna go back to black and white.” -Danny show 1 comment i better just share the story about my hand so you aren’t dying from the suspense–but you’re getting the gossip in lowercase and bad grammar because captain hook says so. on monday, i fractured my hand while putting a car seat in the back of my car. it happened while feeding the seat belt through the back of the car seat. the fracture happened because i have a tumor in my hand that caused the bone to weaken. The tumor is non-cancerous, and has never bothered me before. i didn’t even know it was there. anyway, the doc gave me a splint instead of a cast so that i’ll be able to care for webbette more easily. in 4-6 weeks i’ll have hand surgery. luckily, my mom will be in town by then so i’ll have an extra “hand” around the house—get it? and while i’m on the topic, do you have any idea how difficult it is to scoop ice cream left-handed?! so, that’s the story. looks like harry will be changing more diapers than he thought. show 6 comments So much has happened since my last post. I feel like I’m stuck in a waiting stage. I’m waiting for our baby girl to arrive. I’m waiting to find out if I have a teaching job next year, and as of Monday, I’m waiting for my fractured hand to heal. Today I have a heavy heart, and while I hate to be such a Debbie Downer, I feel I owe it to those of you who read my blog to know how I’m really doing–at least for today. Had I typed this post yesterday or Sunday, it would have been different. I had a great weekend and a great day yesterday. I spent time with some awesome friends, I was given a wonderful baby shower, and I spent time on the phone with far-away friends. Today though, I feel God calling me to be still and have faith that He will provide. No matter what. The girls from school put on a lovely baby shower for me on Saturday morning. I had Harry take a few pictures of me afterward because frankly, I haven’t been doing much dressing up lately. Most of my outfits consist of pajama pants and Harry’s oversized t-shirts.
I want to write more, but my right hand looks like Captain Hook, and I’m typing with my pointer fingers. I’m leaving you with Spring’s hottest new fashion accessory. You know you’re jealous.

Your work is amazing!!!!!!
The moment the nurse placed Lucy in my arms was incredible, and even more powerful than I ever expected. Harry and I stared at her in awe. We began talking to her, and she quietly studied and stared at us. It was love at first sight.
Listening to Harry talk to Lucy makes my heart sing. He is so excited to play with her when he gets home from work. He is an amazing father. God has richly blessed us with this sweet little bundle of cuteness.
37 weeks. Thanks Steph, for letting me wear your dress (twice).
See? I should have blogged after the baby shower. This post would have been a lot better.
