Birth Date: August 6, 2009, 1:52pm.
Horoscope: A Leo. Considered King (or Queen) of the Jungle: always proud, a performer, and happy being the center of attention and in the spotlight (oh boy!).
Stats: 5lbs, 11 ounces and 19 inches long. The hands and feet of Michael Phelps. And the longest limbs this side of town…or what we refer to as “frog legs!” I felt those legs all the way through my pregnancy.
As my friend Austin puts it (in response to Harley’s two week early arrival), “this is the life of a rock and roll woman”!! Miss Harley Grey certainly surprised us with her arrival on Thursday. After a 24 hour turn-around and 52 minutes of pushing, she came into this world with bright blue eyes, what seems to be a very old soul, and the sweetest personality. We are forever changed and life will never be seen the same again. Its an amazing feeling.
As you can imagine the last six days have been a crash course in all things parenting. From basic diaper changes to walking down the street with stroller in hand (realizing that you have not only become a mother but a warrior out to serve and protect your newborn child with every ounce of strength you have and at all costs). Everything has become an expression or need executed for our little one. The days fly by, while the nights screech to a halt. But all in all, there is nothing more incredible than the connection and love you feel growing inside of you for this little girl. And while Harley has now been sentenced to life as a permanent model for her camera-obsessed mom, I have found a new passion in my daughter (hubby too!) that expands wider and deeper than anything I have ever come across before.
