our little, ivy lynn...

oh, i have so much to write, to share, and remember. i can't wait to write about her birth and how perfect it was. from driving up to the hospital that monday morning with butterflies in my stomach to the moment i pushed her out into this world...the experience from beginning to end was simply magical.

a dream.

a dream i wish i could dream every single day of my life.

we are soaking her in. her littleness. her sweetness.

we are getting to know our little, ivy lynn. in a few days i will write all about the moment we met our newest girl, but for now, here are a few photos of our new family of 5.

we are happy and healthy and everything just seems right. the only hard part, is putting her down. i stare at her all day long. i can't stop breathing her in. watching peyton and beckham love her or thanking God for the family he has given us.

i want to say thank you for all of the prayers, well wishes and love sent our way the last year, but more importantly the last week. i have read every comment. and each one i can feel the love from each of you. i have cried while reading most of them because i can feel the support and it feels good to know so many have read our story and celebrated along with us.

wish i could have you all over for a big lasagna dinner.

thank you. XOXO

**i realized tonight, that i didn't update my blog with her name last wednesday when we named her. i had been updating my facebook and instagram regularly but not my blog. i'm sorry about that.

*if you would like to see photos more regularly, i post them on the iphone app called Instagram. my name there is @heidiwish if you'd like to take a look.
