NWR: OUR NEW BABY GIRL!

....thank heaven for little girls!

Hey Ladies, it's been a long time since I have been on the blog. My life has changed so dramatically during the past year. I just wanted to introduce my baby girl to you.

On December 15, 2009 @ 1:13am, Maliyah Denae Mitchell was given to us. She was 6 pounds, 11 ounces and 19 inches long. How wonderful it is that she is a part of our lives, we are so lucky! My husband is so crazy about her. She is his first child, and my second. My daughter is 9 and she is finally a big sister.

She was born nine months and 1 day after my wedding. I never would have thought that I was going to get married and have a baby in the same year, but it did happen and how grateful I am. The pictures I posted are the newest pics of her, of course but my husband has more and I will post them later. She looks like my daughter to me more and more everyday.

The day I had her, it seemed as if nothing else mattered, no cell phone, no computer, my job, his job, and because of that, I knew that everything changed in that instant.

Now that the baby is here, I think about how I said I wasn't having anymore children, at least until I got married. .....how selfish of me.

I think about how my husband wanted to hurry and have a baby.......and I didn't.

I think about how many times my daughter said she wanted a sister or brother.........and I dismissed it.

I think about how selfish I have been in my life, thinking I couldn't do this again, thinking I would only have one kid, and how wrong of me it was to think like that, it was extremely selfish of me.

My baby has changed my outlook on life, now I have to consider having a 3rd child if my husband wants to, which I am not real sure he does because he see's now how hard it is to have a child and how expensive they can be. He has waited years to have a child and now he finally has one. I am happy I was able to carry her and give her to him.

Ladies, this will be my last post on wbc, I have enjoyed every minute of my wedding, the planning, the stress, the hopes and the dreams of it all. Farewell to all of you and I hope you go on to live healthy and prosperous lives with your new spouses and new found families.

I will come back from time to time to see what ya'll are up to. And of course I have to see Sonya, gratefulbride, be married!

I will miss you all!
