As of 9:31p.m. on July 5, 2013 I am the proud mommy of the most gorgeous LilyAnn Rebecca Brown.  Here you will find my daily (hopefully) blogs of our every day life together and my journey into and through being the mother I have dreamt of being since I was a child.  I know this adventure has only begun and will prove to be the greatest, proudest, and most trying accomplishment of my life.  I have always wondered what the unconditional love and adoration for and from your own child feels like and I've only begun to understand.  She is my world, my life, my heart, and my everything.  I hope that this blog will help my and her family feel close to her even if y'all can't be in her life every day.  

Born Friday evening and released from the hospital Sunday afternoon with a clean bill of health.  We have had an amazing couple of days at home together already.  On Monday Lily's great grandma Betty and great aunt Deb came to meet her and, of course, fell in love. 

Grandma, Grandpa, and I have already got tons upon tons of pictures taken and there are plenty more to come every day.  I'll try to include a new picture with each daily blog entry.  For today, we've got Miss Lily in an adorable dress and the only headband that will fit her tiny head just so happens to match.  :)
