I am very excited to announce our best pals, Melissa and Nick, welcomed their first child to the world yesterday- McKenna Leelyn. It is very exciting to have them join us as Parents and to have them relate to our experiences as first timers. We look forward to adding on to 10+ years of memories now with our children a part of them. They had a few bumps in the road with a surprise C section but they are doing well and recovering as they should. I am excited for them to be able to spend time with McKenna hopefully later today. I can't imagine if we had to go through all of those surprises and had a non-traditional labor. I would have needed my Mom even more then I did.....they are blessed to have both of their parents by their side to welcome her into the world and provide support.
I missed my parents every minute of the pre and post labor and wishing more then ever that they were there to meet her for the very first time. I can't imagine anything more special then meeting your first granddaughter. You wait for that all your life and unfortunately, Mom and Dad sadly missed it. But I have learned through my own labor and seeing friends go through all different types of labors and experiences that nothing is more important then a healthy baby. And whenever I get really down, I have to remind myself that I had that and hope one day that my faith is restored and will get past the dark sadness of the tragedy. I know I will never get over not having them in our life. That part is just not possible.
I am so looking forward more then ever to meet two of my best friends babies next weekend, little Ben and now little McKenna! It's amazing how these girls are so important to me that their children become just as important and special and I think of them all like family and only want the best for them.
Welcome to the world princess, you have many angles above looking over you as you enter this crazy, unpredictable, yet beautiful world....
