Dear Sweet Ellie,
Today you are just one day old. Dad and I arrived in St. George at 8:30am and went straight to the hospital to meet you. Daddy was in Washington DC and jumped on the first plane possible to get home and come see you.
We walked into Brooke's hospital room and there you were... both dad and I could feel Heavenly Father's love when we looked at you. You are the prettiest, sweetest little girl ever. You are so tiny and new, and yet your smile lights up our world. You have the most beautiful hands ever. You are very petite and very feminine. You never cry and are very alert for a newborn baby. You are so pleasant, so content, so full of love.
Early that afternoon it started to rain, a wonderful summer storm. It quickly dried up and the most spectacular rainbow crossed the entire sky. Soon after that, a double rainbow appeared. The thought came to my mind that the heavens were celebrating your birth and painted the sky in glorious colors to welcome you. You are very special and the heavens created this beautiful scene just for you, sweet Ellie.
You are watched over by angels and if you listen carefully you will be able to hear them signing sweetly to you. I know it true because when I'm near you I can feel them, I can even hear them.
We love you so much,
Love,
Mommy
