At 9:51 AM on September 8th, our lives changed forever!! Lily Carolyn Wormwood was born at 7 pounds 11 ounces, 20.5 inches long, and more perfect than we ever could have imagined.
She came out into the world crying and as soon as she was laid on my
chest and heard my and her daddy's voices, she immediately stopped
crying and just looked at us. Our hearts melted realizing she already
knew who we were. We were her parents.... how exciting and terrifying at
the same time!!
I always imagined I would be a blubbering mess when I met her, crying from the pain and joy of all that I had gone through, but there were no tears (they did come later though, don't worry!). All I felt was indescribable happiness; my daughter was here and nothing else mattered...not the stitches being administered, not the past 35 hours of contractions and not the absolute exhaustion I was soon to be hit with. I can see now why women do this more than once, it is like immediate amnesia when you meet your child, everything was beyond worth it and I would have gone through a million times worse for this little girl!! :)
