Baby is Born

At 9:15 a.m. a nurse wheeled your bassinette into the room. The first thing I noticed was your brown hair, then how small you were. What a tiny bundle! As she lifted you out I said to Daddy, “You can hold her first”, but he insisted, “No, honey. You’ve been waiting a long time for this. You hold her first.” I started crying even before you were in my arms. My sweet baby… so tiny and delicate. I’ve never seen such a beautiful baby. I can’t believe you’re really here and you’re really ours. Are they really going to let us take you home? Are you really our child?
