Wow.

Erica had Lily, at 11:40pm tonight.

20 minutes before her own 23rd birthday.

She's 5lbs 7oz and 18inches long. TINY.

Bright blue eyes and a head full of brown hair.

She's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen in my entire life.

I'm finally at home now, after hourrrrrs of waiting at the hospital, and I still can't stop crying. I have never felt so.. I don't even have a word for this feeling. It's magical. When I held her, she looked straight into my eyes and grabbed ahold of my pinky, not even 30 minutes after being born.

I don't know why I hate life so much, when the beginning of it is the most beautiful thing in existence.

My heart is pouring over with emotion right now.

I'm an aunt. Again. To a beautiful little girl.

Lilyana Elizabeth Miller.

There was an angel born today.

That's enough to make me forget my problems for a while.
