Last and Final Entry...

Because I made this my pregnancy blog 9 very very short months ago, and have now given birth to the most beautiful little girl in the world, this will be my last and final blog entry on this blog.

On October 10th, 2008, at exactly 1:30am Jesus blessed us with Paisley Jaymes Smith. It was after 25 and 1/2 hours of labor and a C-Section, that she made her debut but it was all completely worth it.

She weighed 7lbs. 14oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long. Derek and I could not be more proud of our little beanie girl.

So, with all that said, I will leave you with this...

Having a child and now truly understanding the love a parent has for their child it makes my heart swell at the thought of our Heavenly Father's love for us. The question that keeps passing through my mind is - 'If I love her this much how much more does Jesus love me?' It's humbling.

From now on I will be blogging on my old blog - blessed2b.blogspot.com
and on Paisley's new blog - paisleyjaymessmith.blogspot.com

Thank you for all your prayers and love through this whole pregnancy. And please go to Paisley's blog and check in for pictures and updates on our sweet girl....because what do they say???...It takes a village...

Be blessed!

Can you say INDUCTION?!?!?!?

I'm being induced tonight!!! I will be holding my baby tomorrow!! YAY!! I'm about to burst!!! Pray for me and Paisley and Daddy too! And pray that the epidural WORKS!!! HEHE!!

Next time I see you all I will have Paisley Jaymes Smith in my arms!!!

Paisley,
Mommy loves you so much! I can't wait to see your beautiful face and kiss your sweet cheeks. It seems like I've been waiting forever for this moment and now it is here and I don't even know how to act. All I can say is that you are a very blessed little girl and truly at miracle for our Lord Jesus Christ! Forgive me for the mistakes I will make and love me even when I'm not so lovely. You're Daddy is driving back in from out of town today to make sure he is here when you arrive. He is so excited to meet you! He keeps referring to you and I as "His Girls" and I love that. You have our hearts already and we haven't even seen you. Please always remember that no matter how much Mommy and Daddy love you Jesus loved you first. And will always love you the most. He is your Heavenly Father - we just get to love you and take care of you for a little while. And we will try our very hardest to do the very best job of that possible.

Until we meet, My Love, know that I am thinking of you and praying for you.

Mommy
