My daughter

There she is Bowen Grace Burgess! Born May 12, 2010 at 5:33p.m. weighing 6lbs. 6oz. at 19 1/2 inches in length.

I honestly never dreamed first that I would be a mother to three children but secondly that I would have a little girl. I just didn't think of myself as the Mom to anything other than boys. It's only been 10 days but I can tell you without hesitation I am glad God decided differently for our family. She is healthy and now weighs 6lbs. 12 oz. she gained 8 oz. just this week, my little piggy! We were so grateful to be able to take her home with us from the hospital and have that wonderful experience that we did not have with either of the boys. Those first couple of nights we felt like newbies and didn't sleep for fear we'd miss something. I didn't put her down besides to change her the entire first night. I just wanted to soak it all in.

To say we are blessed doesn't describe my heart right now, ever moment I am more in love with her. This little girl is the period on one very long nine months and one incredibly interesting and at times difficult fertility journeys. Our family is now heavenly complete and Earthly content. I am covered in joy and honored to be the Momma of these three amazing Monkeys and can't wait to see how our story will unfold.
