Etta Girl

baby girl #2 was born last thursday.
Etta Rose.
I am in love with the name. and even more in love with the girl.

i love babies...and this isn't a baby hungry type of love.. it started in high school when i worked for a daycare. i begged to be with the babies. full-time. all the time. i fell in love with them. and my last day at that horrid facility, i cried as each baby left with their mom, or dad, or grandma, or aunt, or whoever took care of them after me. it broke my heart leaving them. and i still think about them.
so, luckily, i have my nieces and nephews now. and i love them to absolute pieces. and i love miss etta.

for whatever reason, we were busy thurs, when the baby came, busier friday and then she'd be home from the hospital on sat (and we were even more busy that day)... which is weird because we are never busy. not being sarcastic there.
anyway, etta wasn't on my calendar, even though she should have been.
we were planning to just see her on sunday (when she looks like a completely different person and so grown up!)

well, we had somewhere to be friday night at 7, but friday morning i was talking to jess and i got like homesick for this baby i had never met... you know?
friday afternoon i called zach and said i cant wait any longer to meet this baby girl.
so we left work early and made the trek to provo. the heart of provo.
and we got to see this sweet babe.
and spend some one-on-one time with her parents. which... never really happens (they must have 4 kids or something)... but i love when it does.
we love you jess and jon. and we love your kids even more.
send rub girl my way! (i hear she's up for adoption).
