I got to hold Ellie Grace for the first time!! What a sweet little baby, and what a wonderful moment to sit in with her mama and get the chance to hold her. What a precious time that we all take for granted when a baby is born...the baby is born, you may have to wait a few hours, but then you hold them, no biggie. Well this little one has just been waiting for me to hold her(she told me so herself) for a whopping 8 days now! I am so thankful that Chris and I are both one of the fortunate 6 on that NICU list that get to visit her. We go in and talk to her in her little incubator and tell her how wonderful she is, pray for her, etc. and wait for the day when we get to go to her home and do so :)
As if that wasn't enough excitement for the weekend - we threw my friend Kim a fabulous surprise 30th birthday party at Big Bang! We had so much fun! Kim was very, very surprised when she walked upstairs and outside to the pation where we were. Completely and totally surprised! It was great to hang out with all of our friends who we see maybe once a week - but at work functions - and Chris and I both were out way past our bedtime!
All of us 'boro girls(and Kathryn, Kim's sister) with the birthday girl
Kim with her sweet husband, Jim, who I conspired with the entire time :)
