Seconds after her arrival...

When Noel first arrived and they put her on my chest it was the most tender, spiritual moment in our lives. When she was born there was such a peaceful feeling in the room. She cried for 5-10 seconds and then when they put her on my chest she stopped. We loved the name Noel originally and hoped she would look like the name, and when she was born we just knew because of how calm she was that her name would be Noel Christine Young.

Welcome to our family Noel Christine!!

I'M A TICKING TIME BOMB!

THERE'S ABOUT 4 MORE DAYS TIL' MY DUE DATE and I just wanted to say before all of the excitement happens that I am so grateful for the blessing that Morgan and I have of becoming parents. I cannot fathom what it is going to be like to hold her in our arms for the first time but I do know that I've always wanted to be a mom and I know that it will be WONDERFUL especially with the most amazing husband by my side.
