i don't even know where to begin(and i am a professional rambler so this is out-of character),
but i am so overwhelmed with the amazing gift of being a mom.
i always thought i would love it, but i must admit these last few weeks
leading up to jan. 9th i got so nervous about the whole idea of
being responsible and trusted with our very own tiny baby
i couldn't think straight.
now we are home and i keep trying to figure out
how it is possible to be so exhausted and emotional and thankful
and filled with unconditional love all at the same time.
i think that's what makes this motherhood thing hands down
the most amazing thing i have ever done!
praise God for this blessing-
technically weighing less that 10 pounds,
but already unmeasurable in my heart.
*thank you for all your sweet comments on the arrival news,
i promise lots more pics and info. is coming soon!

Ditto. It is amazing beyond words!!
I'm so excited for you! She's absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see that sweet GIRL! The pictures of ya'll coming home are emotional to me bc I remember how sweet it is to bring your baby home for the first time. It's all overwhelming and emotional, but it's so wonderful to finally have her there in your arms! I hope you're feeling well and getting some rest. Thank goodness for families!
What a perfect description-so many emotions but the greatest is definitely love!
I am so glad that your family is complete and at home. I can't think of anyone who be a better Mom, but I must admit I was relieved to know it makes a natural like you a little nervous. I can't get over how adorable Adelaide is-she has fabulous lips by the way. I am so thankful Evan is your partner in the adventure of parenting. I am always reminded of what a great team y'all are when we get to be with you. We are so excited for y'all and praying for your family!
She is beautiful! And perfect in every way! Yes, you will wonder how your heart can hold all the love you will have for your children...but God just has a way of helping you hold it all! Love you all so much. Mary Kay
Motherhood is all those things! You guys look great with Adelaide!

Yes - motherhood sometimes is way over our ability to come up with words! And the best part is it changes every day!
Just wait till she says Mamma! It will melt your heart.
Wow. Ya'll are beautiful. I too understand the mama amazement. It is a miracle of God truly. You look great and I must say that my heart is FILLED of gratitude to the Lord for your healthy baby Adelaide. I love her name. She is beautiful. So are you. Love you. M
Look at all that hair! What a beauty!
Everytime I look at this picture I am still amazed! You are a MOM!!! You are doing a terrific job I'm sure! And what a great example you had and still have with your mom! Enjoy this wonderful time!
Ok, so now it's for REAL. Yes you have been pregnant and yes you have shown us tons of pictures of the process. But I really cannot believe that you brought home a real live baby! WOW! Can't wait to meet her. So happy you are doing so well afterward.
What a blessing! Praying for you guys as you figure out things over the next few days, weeks, etc. :)
It IS an amazing gift ... words don't do it any justice! I can only imagine the wonderful mom that you already are! Love every moment ... even the middle of the night feedings :) ... the time flies by! I'm thinking of and praying for you three! Give Adelaide a hug and kiss from me!
That is the cutest picture ever! I think I might start crying because you are really a mom!! Congrats!!
