A whole new world

Remember that song from Disney's Alladin? Emma Lee has been here for 3 weeks now and already things are very different. There is more color in our lives. Girls' clothes are so much more bright and cheery than little boys. She doesn't just wear onesies and shorts or pants like my other kids did. She wears dresses with cute little diaper covers that match! My boys are softer. They know she is different and treat her as such. My sweet husband is different. He marvels at Emma. He is head over heels in love with this little girl. The best and probably craziest thing I've ever done is get out of the hospital on Wednesday and a couple hours later, board a plane for TX. You see, I had a National Rally convention for my home based business, Premier Designs Jewelry. Gary and I both went and he took care of Emma  while I was in conference. What as great bonding experience it was for him. He fed her sometimes, he changed her, he put her to sleep, and he held her-constantly. Thanks to a friend of ours, we were able to use a Moby wrap for the 1st time. Gary LOVED it as he could be hands free but still be carrying Emma. He was adorable as was my little princess. :)

So why the post? I have always been "one of the boys". I loved it. It made me special and unique. I have 4 brothers, 4 brother in laws, I had loads of guy friends growing up and loved every minute of it. Now I have Emma Lee and my life will never be the same. I am embarking on a whole new world. Our family dynamics just changed dramatically. My heart has completely changed as well. I look forward to all the new joys, differences, and brillance that having this little girl will bring.
