Our Baby Girl

Our baby girl was born the other morning. She came the day before her due date and she is so beautiful. I never knew what the joys of mother hood was going to be like. I had heard about it but never thought I would I ever get to experience but thanks to one young lady who has a brave and loving heart gave us the blessing of being parents. There will never be enough words how thankful we are to her and her family. They will always be in our hearts and part of our family.
The day that our little girl was born, I didn't hear my phone ring the my friend tried to call me. But once I got me and I thought I had felt a vibration but wasn't too sure but I decided that I would check my phone to be sure and I see that I had several missed calls and texts messages. I texted my friend apologizing for not hearing my phone and then she called me back as soon as she received my text message and told us that our baby girl (who we call Jelly Bean in our blogs) was born. She weighed 7lbs and 1oz and she is so beautiful. I told Mike and we got up out of bed and got ready to hit the road as we had a long drive ahead of us. But the drive was well worth it. Everything is worth it for our Jelly Bean. We didn't meet the birth mother or Jelly Bean until the day after she was born because we got into the state and city we was going really late and we did not want to disturb them. So the very next day we got up ate a little breakfast (as it was still a little early lol) and then got ready to go meet our Jelly Bean.  Once we meet them the birth mother handed Jelly Bean to me and I was in love with her. After I had held for a while I handed her to Mike and that was a site to see. I had always seen him hold our nieces and nephews but not one of our own. The hospital got a room for Mike and I ready to spend time with our Jelly Bean. We didn't realize at first that we would be staying the night in the hospital or even have her in the room with us that whole time but it was great to spend that time with her and bond with her. I think we all was pretty much scared, nervous, and excited. Isn't all new parents feel that way. Scared to even touch the baby (even if you have before lol ) nervous, and excited.  
We got to leave the hospital with Jelly Bean yesterday evening. We bought her to the hotel we will be staying at until we get the okay to leave this state and to enter back into Alabama with her. Our first night a lone as a family of three (a night without nurses coming in and checking on things) went pretty good.  I think it went better then I thought it would. She only got really fussy once and that was about around 1 something. We feed her, burped her, and changed her and she was still fussy. So I swaddled her up and Mike walked around with her and she still was fussy. So I took her climb in the bed with her and cuddled up with her and she went right off to sleep and slept until 6 this morning when she woke up hungry and needing a baby changed. What is it with babies, in when you get them changed and pick them back up they poop in a nice and fresh diaper? Yep, Jelly Bean did just that.  After all that she wanted to be cuddle back up by daddy and went back to sleep where she slept until 10 and got up wanting to be feed and changed all over again. But this time she wanted to stay a wake a little bit and smile at us. It was so cute seeing that smile. She doesn't give you a little grin, she gives you a big grin that is so cute. 
Well I am going to go and I will update you again once we get to go back home.
