Here she is - our little girl. We love the third picture which we are calling her American Idol picture - she's singing already. In the last picture you can see that she is sucking her thumb. Amazing, just totally amazing.
It was an amazing day among so many sad days. It was devastating to not be able to call my mom on the way out of the doctors office like I normally would have. I know she would be so happy to hear that we're having a little girl. It's really hard to do this without her, but I'm so very grateful to have so much support and enthusiasm from my family and friends. I hope this little one knows how important she already is to so many people. It's all just so hard and I only hope I can teach this baby what a great "Grammy" she had. It hurts so much to know that she'll never get to meet her.
On a positive note, I did start to feel the baby move last week, which is amazing. It started just when my mom told me it would - 20 weeks. I like to think Peg had something to do with that. And now she is moving all the time - especially when I'm hungry. I think it's her way of making sure I'm eating enough.

Johnny and Erin,
ReplyDeleteSimply amazing to see your precious little girl in these amazing pictures! Life can definitely hand us out some difficult challenges as we have both found out recently....and then we have this special bright spot in our lives to think about and look forward to. I guessed right:) Much love to you both...Sandy
Oh my, I took a picture of baby O and said "that looks like Johnny, oh wait it's Johnny's kid." I swear the last picture is a side view of Johnny when he sucked his thumb. It is really great, I am so excited.
