Bella, there were a lot of people very excited to meet you when you finally arrived. There was lots of love in and out of our hospital room during our longer than expected stay. On your birthday, after you met your dad and I - you met your Grandma, your big sister Addie, Pap, and your Aunt Kristen. Everyone was so excited to celebrate your birthday with us, especially your big sister. She absolutely adored you from the moment she met you! She gave you lots of kisses and loved holding you (with help of course!) We spent most of the morning just soaking in all of the baby cuddles, with a side of Addie's goofiness, with family in our hospital room. It was perfect!
After a few hours, the room quieted down as Addie and the rest of the family went home for some lunch and nap time. It was nice for your dad and I to have some alone time with you in our room and try to get some rest. Although I'm not gonna lie, I never fell asleep I just held you in our dark, quiet room and enjoyed every second of it!
Once nap time was over, we had another round of close friend and family visitors. Brianna came to meet you, your Aunt Kristie and Uncle Keith drove all the way from Raleigh to meet you, and you met some of your cousins, Samantha, Rylan, and Maddox on FaceTime. We spent some more time with your big sister, Grandparents, and Aunt Kristen before it was bedtime.
Throughout the rest of our stay at the hospital, the love continued to pour in! Your uncle Brian came from DC, Dr. Pirkle stopped by to say hello, my teacher friend Nicole came, and our good friends Kristy, Justin, Addy, Sarah, and Hudson came to visit!
Bella, you are already so loved and such a perfect addition to our family! We cannot wait to continue to introduce you to the rest of your family and mommy and daddy's friends. You are a very lucky girl and your dad and I are very, very lucky to call you our daughter. We love you Bella!
