Right On Time

2 Weeks late, but right on time. Our little Millie barreled into the world early Monday morning with one arm out ahead of her like Super Woman. I'm gathering up my thoughts for something like a million blog posts. So much to say. So much to write down to capture each and every moment of this once in a lifetime time.

I thought my heart had healed in huge ways this past year. I think that I can't even know the half of it until I look back a year from now. A year that will find this motherless daughter mothering a daughter. Life come full circle to heal a heart. Thanks to all of you who have grinned and waited over this little one's arrival. Isn't she awesome?
9lbs 1oz and 20 1/2" long 
Did I mention that I'm only 4'11" on a good day? Yeah she is a big un' as we say in the South.

  3. Many congratulations! I remember that feeling of so many thoughts that I wanted to remember. I wasn't blogging at the time - didn't even know what it was. I also tried castor oil - that stuff's gross!

  6. Oh my heart congratulations! What a HUGE beauty!! And this? "A year that will find this motherless daughter mothering a daughter. Life come full circle to heal a heart." You said exactly what I've been living these last months since meeting Zoe as well. It only gets better my friend, richer and deeper and more wonderful. Soak up every delicious moment!

    Thanks Linda, she is a doll! Thanks for the love and sweet support! Her Mano (Liberian  tribe) name is Whylalehseh which means "God is Good". So appropriate I think!

    Castor oil is the height of disgustingness. I'm just glad I didn't have to take any more than I did!

    Soaking it up as we speak! I so love your openness about this life lived without a mother- especially learning to mother a daughter yourself. It has been a huge encouragement to my heart!

  10. Precious! Mothering a time to take time and leave rushing behind.
