Meet Camilla

I attempted to write this post a handful of times, but nothing seemed good enough. It still doesn’t seem good enough.
Best Baby Names

And then I came to the conclusion that there are no words to describe the emotions that pulsed through me as I watched a teeny tiny human come into this world. Simply put, it was fascinating, thrilling and overwhelming – the most incredible experience of my life thus far. The connection I felt with my younger sister, Cailley, in that very moment is something I’ll never forget and I’m forever grateful I got to be a part of something so special.

My hope is that this world shows Camilla nothing but love and respect as she grows into the person she’s meant to be.

Thank you for letting me share my sweet girl with you all (and for understanding my need to take a break when life happens). Happy Wednesday!

  1. Congratulations, Jess. She is absolutely beautiful. I became an aunt this past year to my big sister’s beautiful Amelia and nothing prepared me for how instant that love could be. Such a blessing!

    So sweet! I’m sure she’s going to grow up to be a beautiful and driven woman just like her aunt! And momma of course.

  8. Awwww I have goosebumps she is so darling!!! I have yet to have a niece or nephew but with so many siblings I know the feeling. Nothing like a sweet little baby to put things into perspective and make you so grateful!
