In the past 7 days, my world has forever changed. Charlotte was born on Jan 10th, at 9:15 in the evening. She's beautiful and absolutely perfect - but I may be a bit biased. I went into labor on my own, Praise God - and while my birth story isn't what I would have planned, the result is a blessing from God.
I've been poked, prodded, monitored, watched, panicked, given birth, thrown up, been thrown up on, been peed on, been pooped on, laughed, cried, fallen deeply in love - and been completely overwhelmed by the entire experience. How will I ever adjust to the demands of this new little person that I don't really understand, and how was this world ever enough without her in it?
A few hours old...
A day and a half old...
Home, where we've been waiting...
In the 60+ year old baby gown, passed down through Jason's family...
Damn the paparazzi.
Someone please explain to my Mommy and Daddy how to care for an infant... they're OBVIOUSLY clueless.

I'm all choked up! What an incredible journey! She is absolutely gorgeous!
Charlotte is such a striking creature. She looks at you like she KNOWS--- everything. Everything the world has to offer, everything you are thinking, and everything her parents would do for her in a heartbeat. What a beautiful baby! We miss her! (And you guys, too, of course)
Congratulations, she is beautiful.
I'm here by way of Mel...she is a beauty!! :) Congratulations!
