A wee little family to lOvE!

Well, it finally happened! Aria Ann Dimond, or our little Oreo as we like to call her, was born! Coming in at 7 lbs. 10 oz and 19 inches long she was born December 28th. What a journey it was to get her here, and now that it is all said and done, I would gladly do it all over again to have this little bean here in my arms. She is now 3 weeks and old and MY time has flown by so fast. She has grown so much and she is letting her mother and father know she has quite the personality. But no matter how much she cries, those dark brown eyes and long eye lashes work their charm and we forget about our frustrations.

It is quite the adjustment not sleeping and all. I had to laugh when my husband one night while trying to pat Aria to sleep said, "I wish I were Edward Cullen." Haha oh how I laughed! My only response was, "Well, with the bags and dark purple circles under our eyes people will certainly wonder if we belong to the vampire family." It's been tough and Spenser and I both agree we would pay $100 dollars for even one 5 hour nap. But despite being tired all the time, it's completely worth having this little bean in our lives.

We have filled the memory card in our camera twice in the last three weeks, so I apologize for posting so many pictures, but it's hard not to when there are just sooo many cute pics! She pulls some of the cutest faces and like I said earlier, her personality is starting to show. I've caught her smiling, picking her nose, puckering her lips, and crossing her eyes.. Spenser and I laugh all the time at the faces she pulls. We love her so much! I mean who wouldn't fall in love with a pumpkin face like hers tehe.

She is such a blessing in our lives! It's so weird to look down at my tummy and not see this huge thing stickin out. Instead, there in my arms, is my little girl! It's bittersweet to think of the trust that Heavenly Father has in Spenser and I to raise one of his precious daughters. When I look at her I can feel her sweet spirit and I can't help but wonder what kind of a young woman she will grow up to be. She is definitely special and has already blessed our home. The light she brings into our lives is illuminating and I look forward to the memories and experiences I will get to share with her.
