Our daughter Aliza was born! Praise God! What an amazing experience it was for me. On Sunday, January 17th, and 6:51am, when her little body was birthed and I heard her first cry, I was amazed and in awe of this miracle! Formed from a few tiny cells, now 9 months later in my arms as a little person. Wow! Watching her movements, her facial expressions, hearing her sounds, and everything else about her is an extraordinary experience. Now, it is 11 days after her birth, and she is growing fast. As far as parenting, it is a big initial adjustment to your routine. Aliza has slept through her first full night yesterday, and we are grateful. She now usually will not cry when her diaper is changed. I noticed that she wants to start and tries holding her bottle. I am excited to continue learning about her and to watch her grow.
