Jenny......on her name!

To Jenny & Ricky!

That's my little sis Jenny! Look at her! ...*!*!*WOW*!*!*... Jenny looks amazingly beautiful! ...*!*!*AGAIN WOW*!*!*... She really looks stunning, and you can utterly witness her glowing with joy and dignity! I authentically, & enthusiastically really do mean it; she looks excellent considering that since she just gave birth! I sure didn't look that way! LOL! Unfortunately to everyone's great surprise Maiyah was unexpectedly very early compared to the expected due date. Maiyah was not actually due to arrive until October 30th. Thus, she came 3 weeks & 6 days early! Jenny, not expecting her so soon was ill prepared! She didn't even have her bag of clothes or anything at the hospital. She had just gone in to the hospital to be monitored for a little bit. Little did she know...she wasn't coming home! She's a trooper though, she did a wonderful job! Ricky was there the whole time helping her along. Later he went home to get her clothes and stuff. I'm glad she had someone with her since none of her family could be there.

Here are some other pictures from right after Maiyah was born.

The one below is my favorite picture!

That feeling you get when you give birth to your baby is the most priceless feeling ever! When you hold her/him in your arms and he/she grabs your pinky and squeezes it for first time; that too is priceless. I was completely elated when I gave birth to Austin. Unfortunately I don't remember too much of how I felt after I had Dominic. I was incredibly unprepared, scared to death about having a baby, and given that I was so young at the time I had him…I can somewhat forgive myself for not being overjoyed and well prepared for a baby. I bewilderedly gave birth to Dominic at the EXTREME young age of 16 ½. I really look at Austin, my second birth to be the whole shebang for me! I was pleasurably overwhelmed with awe, excitement, wonder, unconditional love, and extreme amazement. It was pure ecstasy! Of course I'm not talking about the actual pains of labor and pushing! That part was excruciating and at times unbearable! But with Austin, the overall process from conception to birth was great! Then after I gave birth to him I was --> -->--> google_ad_section_start(name=def) -->pleasurably astounded at how wonderful I felt; physically and emotionally. Since not long ago, Otto and I had become husband and wife we were so happy to finally have a child of OUR own! We were completely star-struck with a vast array of wonderful emotions! It seems like only yesterday, but Austin is 18 months old now! They grow up SOOOOOOOOO fast! I miss holding Austin in my arms like that! The most awe-inspiring thing about babies though; is that they learn so quickly! It's amazing to watch them grow and learn to do more things as each week passes by! I envy my sister right now! I want another baby so bad, let alone a baby GIRL! LOL! Jenni is going to be a marvelous Mother; Undoubtedly she already is! She's is a warm-hearted & thoughtful person with an unlimited supply of love. Maiyah is very lucky to have Jenny as her mother! Rest assured, I have every confidence in Jenny & Ricky that hand in hand, they will create a wonderful fairy tale - like environment for Maiyah! Abundant with *Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice!* Additionally, I believe that Ricky & Jenny as a couple, will together emerge as phenomenal parents! The teensy-weensy all too innocent baby they made together, unknowingly Maiyah is very blessed to be able to call Jenny and Ricky as her Mom and her Dad! As Mom & Dad, I'm sure they feel blessed to be able to call her their daughter! And equally I feel very lucky to have her as my niece! I'm so proud that I have been given the opportunity to be an Aunt for the very first time! I have every intention to be a part of that child's life and she WILL know who I am; I don't care what it takes! I don't have to see her to show her that I love her! My mom is flying down there this Saturday. I'd love to go with her but there is no way I could afford it. She might be driving down in the end of October with the kids, so if they go I'm gona hitch a ride with them. Otherwise I will not see Jenny or Maiyah until Christmas. I hope I don't have to wait that long. But if I do, it will make Christmas that much more special for me!

Last night I was looking up at the stars in the dark sky, thinking to myself how sad I am that I couldn't be there with Jenny. Wishing so much that I could be in Louisiana with her, Ricky, and Maiyah. Then I realized, something really special while I was focused in on one specific star. If Jenny were outside looking up at night sky like I was, she could be looking up at the same star I was looking at! Then that made me feel quite a lot better, simply knowing that even though were like 2000 miles apart we still share the same stary sky. So from now on whenever I'm really sad and missing my sister, I'm going to get up and go outside, look up at the stars in the sky, and think of her!
