BABIES ARE SUCH A GREAT WAY TO START PEOPLE

Well, today was Jaimi's big day. Little precious baby Jordan Kate Edwards was born at 11:43am (or was it 11:48?, I'm not sure, let's just say noonish, SORRY JAIMI!!!) She is 6lbs 11oz and 18 inches long. Mommy and baby are doing GREAT!! If Jaimi wants to share anymore labor/delivery details than that, she will have to on her own blog.
Now that everyone seems to be having the "second child", I reflect on what a miracle life is and that our kiddos seem to grow up in a blink of an eye. It just seems like yesterday that Natalyn was still not sleeping through the night and would wake up crying wanting to be rocked (oh wait that was last night!), but just when we think we will never get a full night's rest, the sleepless nights are over and behind us.
Reba, Scott's mom, recently gave Scott and I a book that I LOVE and HATE, it is called "Let Me Hold You Longer" by Karen Kingsbury and I feel the need to quote from it immediately.
*******************************
"Long ago you came to me, a miracle of firsts: First smiles and teeth and baby steps, a sunbeam on the burst. But one day you will move away and leave to me your past, and I will be left thinking of a lifetime of your lasts...."

"I look ahead and dream of days that haven't come to pass. But as I do, I sometimes miss today's sweet, precious lasts...."
***********************************
Wipe your tears away and I will end on a happy note. While Natalyn and I were out on our walk this morning, in honor of Jaimi, I stopped at a garage sale and browsed abit. No, I did not buy anything, y'all know how germs on people stuff that I don't know grosses me out!!!

I would attach a picture of Jordan but either I or my computer is stupid and I can't get her pictures to pull up. It's late and I don't care at this point!
