Welcome Little Diva!
My daughter is here! Her name is Zoey; I’ll probably refer to her as little Z on here though. We had a smooth delivery and both are doing well. My husband was home and right by my side! She feels like such a special gift from God! Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers as she prepared to come into the world.

Life Lessons from Children

Prayer for the Weary Parent
But at the same time, I'm weary. It's hard to be a parent, to make decisions that aren't easy and won't make me popular.
