Introducing: My Baby



Introducing my darling daughter, 
Miss Charlotte Christiansdatter Nielson
Born Tuesday, April 3rd, 12:53 pm
Weighing 6 pounds 12 ounces and 19 inches long.






Charlotte's birth was beautiful!
 Mr. Nielson stood right by my side the whole time, 
his big brown eyes brimming with tears of joy. 
Surrounded by incredible doctors and nurses, including Dr. J, who brought his
camera to the hospital and captured the moment also while making
sure I was safe during delivery.
Thank you, thank you!

After delivery, and swaddled in my arms, I
thanked God for this beautiful gift.
This glorious miracle!
The tears haven't stopped since we graced us ten days ago.

Could this really be happening to me?
Do I deserve this?

I couldn't stop admiring this beautiful, perfect, and gorgeous baby of mine. 
And I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast: 
my burned arms holding 
this new, perfect, pure baby, just minutes old.
What a perfect symbol of hope.

This was way better, and much was different from my other hospital visits.
Charlotte's birth was a testament to the incredible strength of my body! 
Despite my challenges and limitations, I carried her to full term.
My body stretched and created a home for her,
 then delivered her perfectly to a very excited family. 
This experience is yet another reminder that God is aware.
