Should have been posted in February. We blessed Maylie the first weekend of February. It was the most perfect day. I was still hormonal and had anxiety because she was only 2 weeks old but most of our family was in town for James return from the Philippines so we planned it and executed it. For my own sanity we had separate family lunches after her blessing to celebrate with family. I wish we could do that with everything. It was perfect to have all of my family over for lunch and get to meet her and love on her and not worry about anyone else besides my family. Then, we went to the farnsie's for the same celebration, and they got to do the exact same thing. Hog her, and us. It turned out perfectly if you ask me. Huston's blessing was so tender. I had many people in sacrament telling me it was the sweetest blessing they had heard in a long time. Although Huston did bless Maylie with the ability to be a big help to her mommy when her siblings arrive, everyone seemed to think that meant we were having ten kids. Haha. Huston and I both bore our testimonies and cried like babies. It was just a spiritual day surrounded by all of our family and I will never forget it.
When Maylie was only 2 days old and we brought her home for the first time, she was fussy ... and we couldnt calm her down. Huston and I layed in our bed and prayed we would be able to fufill all her needs on earth. After prayer Huston whispered to our beautiful Maylie " Its ok, you dont have to be scared, I will teach you all about Him. The Lord. Dont be afraid to forget him, because I will teach you about him. I will never let you forget him. "
I almost died. Right there in that second my heart skipped a beat. I knew I married the best man. Maylie was going to have the best father. Bringing a child into this world is one of the most spiritual things I have ever experienced in my life and I hope I never forget those feelings. They truly are spirits coming directly from heaven.
