Announcing the arrival of Miss Veronica Rose!

April 13, 2011

motherhood

Posted 09/12

(photo taken by my amazing sister, Maria)
So for those of you who guessed GIRL – you got it;) I brought my daughter home today from the hospital! My heart is very full right now:)  My husband and I are soaking her up! My son Gabriel is also in love!  If you are a mother, you know exactly the feeling of that first moment you gaze at your child. It is surreal, takes your breath away, and fills your heart instantly with joy. I will share some more pics with you very soon, along with the story (it is a crazy one). Until then, thank you so much for your love, prayers, and support. I really cannot tell you how much I appreciate it!
I have some wonderful guest posts lined up this week while I try to rest up…. These amazing guest posters are helping me in this CELEBRATION OF LIFE week! I know you will enjoy:) 
Many blessings,  Anna
