Becoming Honey...

Yesterday I officially became Blakely's Honey. 

I am thankful I was able to be there for the birth of my first niece.

Leigh was amazing and those natural motherly instincts kicked right in!!

I am thankful and amazed at God's miracles. 

He not only gives us children but instills in us those emotions and feelings that only a mom can have. Yes, I know I will have no idea until I see my own but I felt that I lived through so many of Leigh's moments yesterday that I will never forget. I am so proud of her being such a "big girl" and stepping right into motherhood like a PRO! She was amazing throughout the day along with a little help and kindness from her sweet hubby. I love Matthew to pieces and am so proud of the husband and daddy he is not even to mention the wonderful friend. 

I will never forget holding my best friend's hand during the first few moments of 

bringing her first baby girl into the world. The flow of joyful tears coming from her face

and mine afterwards were just the beginning of the overwhelming love that we will 

share with this baby girl all the days of her life.

I am excited to brag...

Honey was the first person to hold Blakely after her mommy and daddy!!

We had an instant connection, fell totally in love and are pretty much best friends!!

(if she could talk, she would tell you the same thing) :)

Honey also got to change her first dirty diaper this morning.

The only other people who have changed her diaper 

are her mommy and of course the nursery nurses sorta beat me to it!! :) 

I just wanted to note those two little mile stones in Blakely's life that Honey

was apart of but I promise to not document every little tiny thing I get to do for her.....

okay maybe not EVERY one but probably MOST of them!! :)

The Allen family is doing well and loving every minute of their

sweet new edition to their family!!

We are all very blessed and I give God all the praise and glory for 

so many blessing and of course our miracle,
