My precious baby girl, Gianna Therese, was born this past Sunday, May 5 just before 11pm (and a couple of weeks early:). She was a pink, plump, squalling angel who knew her Mommy as soon as they laid her on my chest, all gooey and squishy and head-full-of-dark-soft-hair perfect. At one week old, so far she has been a calm, happy, sleepy little soul, and we are so in love with her.

    Congrats on your beautiful baby girl! So, kind of random since we don't know each other, but I nominated you for a Liebster Award. A friend did it for my little family blog so I'm nominating you 🙂 It's a fun little post to do when you have time! Prayers for your family during this time:) Also, you can see my post on the award at thesideoflove.com

      Amanda, I just looked back and saw that I never went and did the Liebster Award! I"m so sorry:( I was so crazy busy with a newborn and Mike's injury at the time…

      Well, I shall be doing some binge reading of your blog soon to catch up with you and yours! God bless!

Hi there!

I'm a south Louisiana girl, Catholic wife, writer, speaker, and mother of six. Since I started my blog way back in 2009, life has been a roller coaster of babies, plot twists and a plane crash or two. I've been chronicling things here as I've been learning to love and suffer and laugh and trust in the goodness of God in the ordinary and the extraordinary--with a little espresso and a lot of Divine Mercy.
