1. Not only that she is here- but that she is healthy and whole. We'd had concerns early on due to soft markers for Down Syndrome and a large-measuring abdomen. Though blood work came back "normal" for DS risks, and further ultra sounds showed no signs for problems that would cause a larger abdomen- there still sat that little worry in the back of our minds. We were more aware that one can NEVER know for CERTAIN that their little one will be okay until delivery day. Naomi's birth and health are extra special because of the trials we went through.
2. My rocking chair/recliner. We're still going through adjustments. I always seem to have breastfeeding issues at first. Naomi sleeps wonderfually in the days- but struggles from about 10pm to 2am. Luckily- I love my rocker and boppy and can be comfy as we work through these minor issues.
3. A father's love. I love seeing Jake's adoration for his little girl. He says that the biggest difference is that he just wants to hold and protect her, while with the boys he just couldn't wait to throw a ball at them! He can't wait till he gets home each day to see her and "oohs" ad "ahhs" over her all the time. It's so dang cute!

I too am so grateful for your perfect healthy baby. I can totally understand how that would be in the back of your mind the whole time even though it was unlikely after the follow up tests. What a roller coaster. I would have loved to see you see her perfect little face for the first time. What a relief and absolute blessing. Congrats Jaime.
