Added Velma Jane to our family circle. Her birth was scary but grateful for good outcome for baby and Mom. I will remember her coming and the relief of hearing she had arrived.

Just a little baby 5lb something and four weeks early. Delicate but sturdy.

Everyone has a birth story. My mind is abuzz with the idea for writing.

A shower! The chance to celebrate with cupcakes and delicious food. Nice to see everyone.

Beautiful packages are for Becca to open. I would have liked to see what people brought but so much love in those packages.

My G daughter came clear from North Carolina . Thank you Bryan for coming from Georgia to bring her.

Realizing while an honorary G daughter is just born the other is grown. She has her own opinions and her own life.

Happy to spend an afternoon with daughter and her love. I am proud to call them mine.

Back to swim exercise. I need to build up my strength. Hubby is joining me for his own workout,

A children’s sermon about the importance of resting gave me the excuse to read and listen to music.

It was a week of birth and rebirth.
