First Post. Baby Cheyenne

We had our sweet baby girl! I wanted to post sooner, but we had a whirl wind of events after she was born. Cheyenne Elizabeth was born June 1st weighed 8 pounds, born at 7:40am, and was 21 inches long. Baby Cheyenne is already seven weeks old. On one had, we can't believe it's been more than seven weeks since her arrival. Time goes fast! On the other hand, we can't imagine life without her. We are completely shocked. It's amazing how you can fall completely head-over-heels for a tiny, bald, toothless thing. We can't wait for her to get bigger and watch her grow. For her to sit at the table with us for dinner. For her to crawl, and walk and talk. But at the same time, we want to slow time down so that we can cherish every little baby moment. The sweet way she looks when she sleeps. The way she does her "stretchy-stretchy" face when she's just waking up. The cute baby smiles when she sees us walk in the room. Cheyenne's arms and legs are so small. It's so amazing to see such a small version of a person. John and I had wondered for 9 months what this little girl was going to look like when she came. If she would look more like John or more like me. It is hard to imagine something that is different than what we had already seen in eachother as now and our child photos. However John and I dont want to spend to much time comparing who she looks like the most cause its not as important anymore. Through the whole pregnancy and especially at the end, I have seen the grace of god in my life. I want to express my gratitude for my mother, mother-inlaw, and god. They all had great care for me in all different ways. At the moment of birth I was caught in an emotion that I can not express. In those moments I felt for our daughter as I could only imagine what my mother had felt for me. Words are insufficient for how grateful I am to her and everything she did and was. The windows that we have into the love that our mothers and god has for us are precious and I will always remember this one for my whole life.
