I am quite pleased to announce the safe arrival of Grace Marie! She was born to Ryan and I on October 19th (exactly 9 months and two weeks after the wedding!) at 7:09pm. Gracie weighed in at 8 lbs. and was 21.5 inches long.
I am loving being a mom and all of my anxieties that I had when I first found out I was pregnant have been put to rest. Caring for her has not been a problem and I am continually amazed by Gods planning. I doubt that people would realize a baby is therapy, but it it is excellent therapy for me in many ways. Picture little snaps and buttons that work on fine- tuning motor skills. Or even singing to her as voice therapy (good thing no one else hears!) Or if I am holding her in my left hand, it forces me to do things with my right arm that I normally wouldn't have done without thinking. It has been neat to see. So not only am I blessed with a beautiful daughter, but God has seen fit to keep challenging me!
Thank you for all your prayers for me during pregnancy. I had a wonderful pregnancy and am now enjoying discovering how agile I am without a belly!
