Celebrating the Arrival of Jordan Mae!

I fully intend to come back and tell her birth story in words, but for now it will be in pictures. Jordan Mae was born by cesarean section on April 6, 2010. She surprised us by coming four weeks early but I'm so happy to say she is healthy and was able to come home with us right away. My blog is a bit behind so I will start where I left off...

First of all, we finished her room a few weeks ago. I loved the idea of the bird theme as soon as I saw the bedding and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

My gift to Jason

On Easter Sunday I decided to have my oldest sister take some pregnancy photos of Jason and I. It ended up being a cloudy and rainy day so we just took a few inside for the time being. I thought we would have time to get some more later but little did we know...

Our little miracle at last

"Before you were conceived, I wanted you.
Before you were born, I loved you.
Before you were here an hour, I would die for you.
That is the miracle of life."

Love the nursery. And of course I look at Jordan's photos everyday (she is my desktop background), but she is just the cutest baby ever! And see..she does look like you. I'm not the only one who sees it.

Congrats friend! You're a mommy now! I can't wait to meet her next month! And give you a big Happy Mother's Day hug to you!
