Well, she has arrived.
As I headed for my truck to drive to the hospital yesterday, I found myself overwhelmed with emotions (not that this is anything new). But as I thought back on what I went through as a young mother after my abortion, and the emotions that left me ragged and spent, struggling with how I felt about my abortion, how I hurt for my son when his was child being aborted. Yesterday there was no pain, no struggle, but overwhelming joy as this new life has been brought in this world. To see my son hold his daughter and look contently at her leaves me with tears streaming down my face knowing that God has blessed us with life, in spite of screw-ups we make if we just trust him.
So with all toes and fingers accounted for, a clean bill of health, here is our beautiful new girl with her parents. Weighing in at 7lbs 6oz and 20.5 inches long, Olivia James is our blessing.

| Daddy with his little girl. He's a goner! |

| Yes I am this cute! |
 |
The best place on earth, mommy's chest.
|
 |
| Ten perfect little toes |
 |
And yes, my Daddy is that silly!
He's pretending to eat my brain....
.really, I have 18 more years of this. |
