It's inevitable that whenever you see a baby blessing take place, you dream of your own baby being blessed one day. Even before you are married or pregnant, the dream is there. It's not so much that you've anticipated the blessing but what that day represents. For me it meant I had made it, years of correct choices, living worthy, and working hard so that I could make it to this day. Taking the steps to sealed in the temple to a worthy priesthood holder, creating a wonderful marriage, and then bringing this beautiful baby into the world who will one day hopefully be where I am today.
So as I watched David carry our baby up to the front of the chapel to be blessed, my heart swelled with joy and gratitude that I had finally made it to the place I've so longed to be. A wife and Mother.
David gave a beautiful blessing and even though there were four other blessings that day that could have taken away from that special moment they didn't. We looked around for blessing outfits but in the end decided to just swaddle him in the blanket I had been making for this very day. Something I hope he will treasure way more since it was made out of love, even if it does get gradually shorter.
We had a small luncheon after at our house with Davids family and a few friends. I wish I could have gotten more pictures for how hard I worked on it, but I was trying to hurry so people wouldn't have to wait. We did a simple lunch, something that I could prep mostly the night and morning before. 
We love you Rivers Aiden! So glad you're finally here!!
