a daughter

Yesterday we glimpsed our daughter for the first time.
A tiny dancer who never once held still.
Her sweet face looked so much like her brother Jude. And her Daddy. Time will tell.
Not even a pound, yet already trying to suck her thumb, her body perfectly formed.
So intricate. And beautiful. And perfect.
She has stolen my heart.
I am in love. In awe.
It grows with each child.
"Are you crazy?!" they ask me.
But I think it is they who are crazy, for I have discovered the blessings of a full quiver and all the joy it brings.
And though it is just the beginning...already my heart could burst.

Grami can't wait to meet her and smooch her and check out her precious little fingers and toes and powder the little tooshie and just love her to pieces like I do all of my other grandchildren.
