17 Days Ago....

17 days ago I woke up as my husband dressed for work, and I told him,

"I will not call you from work today. I will be pregnant forever." All week I had told him, maybe today, maybe today....and every day had gone by. We both laughed, knowing how silly that was.

16 days ago I woke early in the morning, knowing it was the day!

3 hours later, I held this beautiful baby in my arms!



Today, today I hold this beautiful baby in my arms. Time rushes past, and I can't believe it was already 16 days ago! Where has the last 16 days gone?

I love you Klara May.
Don't grow up to fast, okay sweet girl?
Mommy needs to hang on to every minute!
