My dear friend Laurie had her baby girl on Friday. She is the most beautiful and perfect thing. Her labor was very intense, but soon after she had her epidural; baby seemed to literally just slip out. With all that Laurie has been through these past 9 mos, I think God owed it to her.
When I was with her last night I was able to hold A for the first time. It had been a while since I had held a new, new baby. Her hair and face felt like a handful of shaving cream, so soft. Her little painted on lips are just perfect. And her long fingers and toes...almost like a baby birds feet. She is beautiful. It' s amazing that after being a mother yourself; the feelings you have when you hold another.
Laurie is an amazing mother, and a great friend. She is patient, understanding, and unbelievably caring. Her 2 kids are so lucky to have her for them. She would do absolutely anything to protect them and cares for them beyond any ones capabilities I have seen. If more mothers could take a smidgen from her parenting; I don't think we would have half of the worlds problems we have today. I love her very much and feel so lucky that she is in my life; sometimes to remind me that I am the mother of a 2 year old...and RELAX. ( Her exact words, actually.)

I'm a bit speechless. It's hard to think of someone who's now so wise, sweet and loving and all grown up, was once my little two year old.
