Our sweet baby girl, Eliana Michelle was born on September 2nd at 8:05 pm. She is absolutely perfect in every way. A perfect blessing from the Lord. I look at her and I am amazed that this little one was inside of me for nine long months.
I teared up when I sang to her for the first time....I've been imagining this for years.
I cry when I see my husband with our daughter....I've fallen in love with him in a whole new way.
I can't stop staring at her tiny little feet.....those little feet that kicked my ribs the last few months.
And oh those cheeks, those chubby little cheeks have had many many kisses from her momma.
When we first found out we were pregnant and went to our 8 week ultrasound, we found out that we might miscarry our little one. As we anticipated our next ultrasound in 2 weeks I came across a song by Watermark called Elliana's Song, you can read the lyrics here. I told Brendan I loved that name. Meanings of names are really important to me, so I looked up the meaning of her name. In Hebrew Eliana means, "God has answered." I told my husband that if we are blessed to keep this little one and it is a girl, this has to be her name. He couldn't really argue with me. I always had an idea that this baby was a girl because I felt the Lord had given me her name. If you read our Baby Williams post you know what an answer to prayer our sweet girl is and how special her name is to us.
