It's so hard to believe she is here. I'm still in awe over her and the whole experience of giving birth. She was born 13 days early due to some issues that pregnancy brought on for me that started wreaking havoc on my body, but she is healthy and that's all that I care about.

The picture above was taken a couple hours after she was born. She doesn't even look like that anymore and its only 9 days later! Dustin and I don't want her to get big. She is just perfect the way she is, small and innocent. She is truly amazing. A gift that I cannot even wrap my mind around.

I am working on a "Dear Lily" letter to tell her how I feel but it's so hard to write the perfect words when everything is so new. I am truly overwhelmed with emotions. Once I get it together, I'll post it. I want to share this happiness with everyone.

I never thought I could love someone so much and be brought to a whole new level of worry! Honestly, they should send every set of new parents home with a doctor for at least the first month. Truth be told, we already went in for an emergency evaluation because of my first mommy freak out. Of course, she's fine but like I said, it's a whole new level of worry!

I'll post more details and pictures soon. She is sleeping right now so I think that means I need some sleep too!

Welcome to this big world Lily Ocean. Mommy and daddy love you more than you'll ever know!
