Welcome to the World....




You were not even born 24 hours ago and I love you so much already! You are perfect and beautiful in every way and I am so happy that all the prayers and worry have paid off and you are finally here! Your mommy is healthy and you are now a part of one of the best families I have ever known....I happen to think that daddy of yours is a pretty special guy...I have known him his whole life and I have never seen him more proud than I did today when I met you for the first time. He is head over heels in love with you already and it shows all over his face and it makes me love him even more! He will be the best daddy to you and your big sister because his family means more to him than anything little one....you are a lucky, lucky little girl.



Your mommy looked absolutely gorgeous today. I could not even believe she just had you a few hours before I came to see you and she is already in love with you more than you can possibly know. You will understand it someday, a long time from now, when you are holding one of your own little babies in your arms, but I can see by the look on her face how much she loves you and how happy she is that you are here. You are lucky two times over to have such wonderful parents sweetie; and I am lucky to be able to watch it all and be a part of your life from the very very beginning!

I love you like one of my own and I hope you know I would do anything, yes ANYTHING, for you and will always be here for you! You are such a precious little sweet pea and I am so excited to be your auntie! I think your cousins are pretty excited too because they all fought over who got to hold you tonight when we came in again and they all prayed for you tonight at bedtime....and Rylee will probably bug me every day until we see you again because she says you are her "baby friend".

This much I know Miss Madeline, you are loved....very very loved. Welcome to the world!!
