Welcome Baby Girl

On March 14, we welcomed our little Nugget, a baby girl into the world and what a miracle.  She is perfect, precious, and the sweetest thing.  Now my days are consumed with eating & sleeping - for her and me.

My Mom, a very ecstatic Grandma, made her first trip over seas to come meet her first grandchild and lets just say she didn't want to leave.  I am so grateful that she made the journey and appreciative of her help.  Now that she has gone, eating, sleeping, and getting things done around the house are bit more interesting.

We are adjusting to life quite well and really enjoy our afternoon naps together.  There have been some great diaper changing moments for both my husband and myself.  We watch her facial expressions like a great movie and listen to her grunts and various noises like they are our favorite musicians.  Bath time is always interesting and dinner time is a juggling act since it is, of course, her most wide awake time.  I am looking forward to this journey and teaching our little Nugget about the world.

People can tell you that having a child is a miracle, but you never know what they mean until you experience it for yourself.

      You hope? Do you really think there is any chance of anything keeping me from seeing that precious baby (and you)? :)I think not.

    Best wishes to all of you, especially Hannah. aka "Nugget".. surprised you did not give her that for a middle name :-) She is awesomely beautiful and we cannot wait for the opportunity to meet her in person. Welcome new little Gray !

      Nugget has not disappeared at all. Hannah is probably called Nugget as often as by her name. The nickname has stuck for sure. I'm blessed with my Lovebug and Love Nugget!
