this morning, two years ago

 gigi, 12 hours old

this morning, two years ago, was my youngest child's first sunrise.  greg and i were in awe of the baby that we had only just met the night before, the daughter who surprised us in so many delightful ways.  i was sore from the previous evening's labor, but more than anything, i was in love.  it felt so intimate to just have the three of us waking up together.  we couldn't stop looking at her.  she was perfect and amazing.  happy birthday to our sweet baby g!
