Our little girl has joined the world!

Wow.  That is what I keep saying.  7 pounds & 14 ounces of pure sweetheart. I have never felt more blessed--a little sister & lifelong friend for my daughter.  This is what I had always hoped I could give my child.  There was a time in my life when I made peace with the fact that I may never be a mother--& now I have children.  I cannot express the joy & gratitude I feel.  As I clothe her and wrap her up, I cannot help but cry when I remember that somewhere out there is a baby who is every bit as precious and sweet as my baby, but is cold and hungry.  I will try to be all she deserves, & pray that the people of the world will try to do so for their children.
For those who are aching--I ache for you.  I pray for you.  I wish to provide a glimpse of hope by sharing what I have been given.  Be true to your mother heart--let it be full of love always.
