One Month

Happy One Month Birthday Ella!

One month ago today, I went to the hospital so ready to meet our daughter,
I was anxious, scared, and excited,
I held Chris's hand as we heard her first cry.
One month ago today, we announced Ella's name for the very first time.

One month ago today I watched Chris become a father,
I watched my family become grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, and uncles,
I was surrounded in a hospital room with more love than I'd felt before.
One month ago today, I became a mom.

I can't imagine life without her, and it's only been one month.
