The Gift


I have been a terrible blogger lately. My apologies. I found a wonderful job, thanks to Brooke that keeps me terribly busy, and I have been devoting the other hours of my life to my little miracle. She still is my micacle, always will be. I ADORE spending time with her! I love all the sugar, spice and everything nice! I never knew what happy tears were until I met her. I cry them all the time now! These little moments amaze me more than I can put into words. I realized the other day that her hands have grown. I look at her hands and I just wonder what they will do. Where will her tiny feet take her. Whose heart will she touch? I am blessed. I will never take a moment of that blessing for granted! Her life is a miracle beyond measure! She saved her mommy! Oh how many tears I cried before her, the saddest tears. Now, only happy tears come. She has brought joy to our family more than I can tell you. Some of the greatest moments I have with her are the ones in which I watch my husband and my parents interact with her. The love that is there, AMAZING. I see God in her! I see all things wonderful.


Laney has a new friend. Her name is Estella and Estella has such a great personality. She is always all smiles and happy. Laney is a happy girl, but it's funny when I see them together, the differences in their little personalities. They are 6 weeks apart almost to the day. Laney has a "Fab 4", the 4 people she most takes to. She is untrusting and cautious, it takes her a long time to warm up (who does that sound like?). That is okay, that is who she is, nothin' wrong with a little caution, especially in the world today. Estella lets anyone hold her, and she giggles. Laney waits for everyone to get distracted, then it's like she whispers to Ella that they can play then. As soon as we all start to pay close attention again, it's over. I am glad that Estella and her mom, Laura, came into our lives. We are blessed to know them. Very sweet people! Again, I have Brooke to thank for that!


It's been through this process of struggling to get my miracle, and having her that I realized how wonderful people can be. I have met some of the best people! I am blessed!


They have been playing Christmas music already on the radio. It may seem early to you, but I am using it as an opportunity to teach Delaney all the songs that her Great Grandma loved so much! This is such a magical time of year that we are coming up on. It's all the more magical for us here at the Nunn Household. We have a gift already, and she comes wrapped in a gorgeous bow! I have always been known for my bows on my Christmas gifts. Delaney is no different. She is the greatest gift I could ever ask for!


So, tonight I write and I dedicate my blog to all my friends, and even people I don't know, that struggle to get their miracle (although that struggle makes it THAT MUCH BETTER Christie)! You will get it! I promise you will see a miracle in your time. Though I hated the wait, it nearly did me in, that wait is why I realize my blessings now! Thank you God! Thank you for my gift! And thank you to family and friends that stood alongside and now watch this miracle unfold! Joe and I are blessed! The song The Gift by Jim Brickman is my perfect song right now!

  1. WOW!! I stumbled upon your blog through one of the blogs I am folowing and now I am sitting here wiping tears away. I too have been to the top of Mt Infertility and it is a journey that has defined me as it has you (and Joe). Dr Witten was also my doctor (my favorite was Mickey) and I can totally relate with everything that you say.

    Congratulations to you and your new family!! Motherhood is even better than what I had dreamed it would be!!!

    Thanks for reminding me of how lucky I am...sometimes I forget as I go through my day to day motions, but a year ago I could not have imagined how much joy would be in my life today.

    I think all of us infertility women share a special connection and I wouldn't have it any other way!!!
