We blessed Olivia at my mom's house last week. Brandon's parents came down for the occasion and it was absolutely perfect. Brandon did such an amazing job and gave such a beautiful blessing. I am so grateful for a husband who hold the priesthood and for the amazing father and husband that he is.
Before the blessing, I sang "Daughter of a King." I tend to get smidge emotional when I am singing for things/occasions/people that are close to my heart. I was a mess when I sang at our wedding. I held it together pretty well until the very end when B and I locked eyes, he smiled, and looked down at our baby girl. I came unglued.
There are no words to express what it is to have a child. I was overwhelmed with gratitude to Heavenly Father for trusting us with this little spirit who has waited such a long, long time to get here. I am terrified to fail her, I know she is such an important little one. My love for her has ignited in me a flame to overcome, to thrive, to teach, to know, to testify, and to endure.

What a great dress you found! She looked so beautiful and so did you. I am glad the occasion was just what you wanted it to be. You are great parents.
Such a blessing - congrats! Also, I have that same shirt you are wearing and I'm pretty sure you look better in it :)
What a beautiful baby. Once again, I can't wait to hold her. I echo your comments on parenthood; next to marriage it's life's greatest blessing.
