A Birth.

Abby Jane Harris.

8 lbs 0.3 ounces.

She's here. The sweet babe that I kept secret for so long. Weeks ago we thought she might come but didn't. She's finally here and the rest is in the past. Her name somehow we knew from the very beginning. Abby Jane. plain and simple. Her birth just as exciting as the others. Contractions strong and hard, delivery seemed unbearable, but really it was all but a moment in time.  However painful, it is still my favorite part of welcoming a new child. That feeling when you look upon your new baby for the first time. The sacrifice you make for months and the sacrifices and memories we'll make for years to come seem to make me love the sweet babe even more.

This time it was just she and I for a while. Tim was there to welcome her, but she and I got to bond all alone snuggling and nursing for hours knowing that it was precious time before the big kids would interrupt.

Even though she is so new she knows me. Knows I'm her mom and there are feelings of a little special bond between mother and daughter.
