I will never forget October 23, 2010, That is the day Madelyn Grace arrived! It has been so long since I held one of my precious babies for the first time that I almost had forgotten that un-explainable joy that comes with meeting your baby. It's amazing how such a tiny thing can cause a joy that is more huge than the sky! I had the privilege of being with Meghan and Charles as Madddie made her appearance. It was very difficult to watch Meghan in such pain. I even had to leave the room a couple of times to cry. When it came time to FINALLY push, I had the video camera in one hand and my cell phone to take pictures with, in the other, I was shaking and bawling like a baby. Fortunately I didn't do too badly on the videoing. There is a time where you see Charles sideways instead of focusing on Madelyn, but I did get the important stuff. She looks so much like Meghan did at birth, dainty, with super long fingers and toes. You can see Charles in her too, a perfect combination of love. She has the hiccups alot, just like her Uncle Daniel did. I'm so thankful God allowed me to get to St Louis in time to be there.
It's funny how your whole life can change in an instant!
