Our Stay at St. Davids

After Cora was born, we stayed in the hospital for two days.  It was pretty scary when they just let her stay in our room the first night!  The first time she cried in the middle of the night, Michael and I sat up immediately and looked at each other with a "what the heck do we do" look on our faces.  She stopped crying about 3 seconds later, so we just went back to sleep.  We were really lucky as far as nurses were concerned.  Everybody was so great and so helpful!  They took such great care of me and Cora, we could not have asked for a better experience at St. Davids.

But the best part of the stay was celebrating the first precious days of Cora's life with our family and friends.  Cora is the first grandchild on both sides, and it has been so special to watch our parents become grandparents.

And another surprise from Houston, a visit from Cora's sweet Godmother . . .

Luckily, Cora's Uncle Dave was on spring break, great timing!! 

Her Great Grandma Mimi was able to come down from Dallas . . . 

We are so thrilled, scared, excited and in love all at the same time!! We have a lot to learn about being parents, but the one thing we do know is that Cora is such a blessing from God and we feel so honored to have the privilege to raise her!  We are looking forward to all the unforgettable moments to come!
