The end of the road-- the start of a new journey!

What a wonderful experience this whole delivery has been! I know that it is because all of you have been covering us with prayer. Caroline came into the world screaming, and it was music to our ears! Scott and I were so calm and relaxed the entire morning. We were really able to enjoy and savor the beautiful moments ahead of us.

Right before Dr. M began the c-section she knelt down at the end of the table with us-- where Scott was holding my hand-- and asked if we would like to say a prayer. So, we all grabbed hands and Scott led us in such a moving prayer-- it was too wonderful for words, and it seemed like such the fitting ending-- and beginning!-- to Caroline's whole journey into this world. Thank You, Lord!

She is doing SO great! I just look at her and can't believe how blessed we are. I have said it over and over-- but God HAS indeed been so faithful to us.

We are bringing Luke to meet her for the first time this morning. I can't wait to see what his reaction will be. I know that ultimately he will be a terrific big brother, but I'm sure he'll need a little time to adjust to another little one in the house-- just like we all will! :)

It is so hard to believe that we made it! She is here! She is healthy! She is beautiful!

Yeah, God! :)
