I am going to attempt to recap the last 8 months since Alyvia has been born so that I can move forward and update this blog weekly with current events (at least that's my goal). I feel guilty that I did not start this earlier but as the saying goes, better late than never. Let's start with July-when it all began.
Alyvia Marie Orth was born on Saturday, July 16, 2011, at 11:10am. I have the details in a journal (and most of you reading this already know them so I will spare you) but everything worked out perfectly. I will never forget the moment she was placed in my arms. Ed and I both started tearing up as the emotions hit us all at once. It was the most incredible feeling in the world. Nine long months leading up to this. We have a healthy baby girl and our lives were (are) forever changed.
I have experienced many happy moments in my life. I had the wedding of my dreams and I remember the natural high that I was on for months after. I even remember saying "it can't get much better than this". I was oh so wrong. Although my wedding ranks high up on my all time favorite days, giving birth to our first child, Alyvia Marie, trumps the wedding day. As a matter of fact, it may trump every other day for the rest of my life. Welcome into this beautiful world baby girl! We love you more with each passing moment!
