My first grandchild

Cora Belle Wagley....
Yep, this is Cora. One of the most precious things around. I know, I am kinda partial, but she is my first so I think I can be. I realized that I hadn't written on my blog in a long time so started thinking about what I could write about. Of course the first thing to pop into my mind was Cora. Sept. 8, 2010 was such a great day and yet I haven't written a word about it. How can that be? It's not that I don't have anything to say because those of you that know me know that I always have something to say. I think my problem is how do I put to words how I felt that day. I once heard someone say that once Cora was born Jodi wouldn't be as important and I just wanted to say "Not True".... I am so proud of Jodi. I watched her go through some pretty hard labor and pretty fast labor and she was such a trooper through it all. You see, pretty much all eyes (including mine at times) was pretty much on Cora, but mainly my eyes were on my little girl. All grown up doing what a good mom does. I remember Cora being born but mostly I remember the look on Jodi's face as it lit up when she saw Cora for the first time, how the tears flowed , and how I could just feel the love fill the room with her's and Aaron's love for each other and for Cora. Yes, Cora was born, and mom and daughter was doing well but to see all my dreams and wishes over the past 21 years come true for Jodi was a joy like no other. Happily married to someone that loves her as much as Jodi loves him and to share that love together and bring the most precious gift to live here on Earth with them. Yes, Cora is precious, but so is her mother. Now, I did title this My First Grandchild so i guess it is time to talk about Cora and the love that I have for her. It is like known that I have ever had. I just want to snuggle Cora non-stop. I can't wait to hear those sweet words mawmaw come from her sweet little lips. I am greatful that when this mawmaw can't be there I know grandma wagley will be there for her. I guess the only way to end this blog is by saying Thanks Jodi and Aaron for being you and for giving us all such a precious gift...MawMaw loves her some Cora Belle 8-)
