Blessing Day

Well this post a little late, but o'well!  We blessed Jovie on Mother's Day and it was the best day ever!  I was so glad it worked out the way it did.  We had to do it Mother's Day because my mom and sister were going to be leaving the next day to drive to Florida.  My sister and her husband moved in with my mom and her husband.  Anywho, Jordan did an amazing job and it was a very beautiful blessing.  We were so worried that Jovie would be screaming her head off during the blessing but she was perfect.  Unfortunately, she is very colicky and we never know when the crying will strike so we always get a little nervous going out with her.  I seriously don't know what Jordan and I did to deserve a colicky baby.  We were both great babies and our mothers can attest to that!  We have tried just about everything but I think we are just going to have to wait it out.  I'm still so infatuated with her.  I just can't look at her enough and she seems to change every time she wakes up from a nap!  I'm so grateful to be a mom, it's the greatest and hardest calling I've ever had, and I will say I underestimated the toll it can take on you.  I've never prayed as hard and as often as I have in the last 3 1/2 weeks.  I couldn't imagine doing this without the Lord's help.  It's hard!!!  Anyway, here are some pictures from the blessing...
