Lydia Anne

I am amazed at how one small moment in time can change life forever. The birth of our daughter, Lydia Anne, on September 19th (3:26 am) was the perfect example of this type of transformational moment. Elizabeth and I cannot believe this amazing person that has entered into our life. At 7 pounds, 6 oz and 19.5 inches long, Lydia is unbelievably perfect (of course no father would say any different of their child).

The few days since her birth have seemed like a dream - partially due to the lack of sleep, but more so because it just seems unreal that we could now be in the presence of such a small wonder. I can't say that there haven't been frustrations along the way, but so far I have found every minute of it worth it tenfold. Lydia captivates us even more every minute and I can't begin to imagine the wonderful joy that we will experience over the next days, months, and years to come.

My plan is to use this blog as a means to describe some of the great things that Lydia shall do, like when she stretches out her legs as straight as can be for moments on end (now that she has room to do so). Some things, like the way she opens her eyes when waking, will be beyond description and so I also hope to capture some of my own thoughts on this little (all to soon to be bigger) life that has started before us.

Thanks to everyone for their love and support as we have welcomed our little Lydia into the world.
