Welcoming Amelia Ruth Calderwood!

Little Amelia

Here she is for her first blogging debut... Miss Amelia Ruth Calderwood!

She is beautiful, mellow, and super soft and cuddly. I'm enjoying every moment with her here at the hospital where attentive nurses and staff have made my stay very restful and comfortable. When I leave to go home tomorrow I only wish I could bring the nurses, techs, and cafeteria staff home with me (and that magic button that I press that makes people appear to help). But Amelia has been very easy so far. I may regret saying that later, but she appears to have a very sweet disposition. She looks an awful lot like her big sister (we're still keeping our fingers crossed for green eyes though:), but I'm guessing they will have very different personalities. I'm so grateful for a healthy family. Ella is doing very well and seeming to enjoy her role as big sister. I have to extend a huge thank you to my parents for watching her so Shaun and I can have some time here with little A. I also want to extend my gratitude towards friends and co-workers who have come to visit. One friend rubbed my feet, another brought a card from my office, another took these photos posted today. I'm so fortunate to be blessed with these people in my life and hope to one day return the kindness or at the very least pay it forward.

I could go on but I'll allow these photos to speak for themselves. Carol, you did a great job friend! We are looking forward to getting to know little "A "better and learning more about her little spirit. Thank you most of all to a loving Father in Heaven who has entrusted her to our care!
