A few things I've learned since Ella was born....

In two short weeks here are a few things I've learned....

- Being a mom is one of God's greatest gifts to women
- Giving birth is a surreal and beautiful experience
- Watching the man you love become a "daddy" is one of life's sweetest moments
- The hours (and days) pass too quickly
- Even the sleepless nights won't make you want to rush these newborn days
- There aren't enough hours in the day to get it all done...and that's ok
- They say house work will wait till tomorrow...and they are right...it even waits for the next day too!
- What your mom meant when she said she loves you
- A little girl can make grown men turn to mush
- Someone could steal your heart instantly 
- You never have a camera handy when you need it
- I am that crazy, protective mother you laugh at

- I love to show off my baby!! Check out the great website Uncle Rusty put together of the pictures of the first few days at home.   http://ellagracehalvorsen.shutterfly.com

  1. Cute change up to the blog and I love the title! It's amazing how the first few days of motherhood completely change your outlook on life. I sat tonight listening to both kiddos read (at the same time, two different stories) and realized just one more time how incredibly blessed we all are. Enjoy the time with Ella (ha, that's my "call sign" by the way. Put it together with Vader, and well, you'll figure it out :)) Can't wait to see your list of things you learn grow. And cute site by Uncle Rusty. Beautiful pics!
