How has time gone by so fast that we were the people blessing our baby at church this past Sunday? This time last year we were getting ready for our first round of infertility treatments and while we felt super hopeful I was the saddest I can ever remember. Now 1 year later we have a 2 month old. Overwhelmed with gratitude to say the least.
We chose to do the blessing in LA in the Westwood 2 ward. We always thought that's where she would be blessed and that ward honestly has been the most amazing ward we have ever been and couldn't imagine doing it anywhere else. There were so many who came to support us and see Vivian be blessed, friends from the 1 and 2 wards along with friends we made in LA, OC and our families. It was perfect!!!
Aaron gave her such a sweet blessing and focused on what I thought was so important, the attributes that she will need to succeed in life, in the gospel and as a woman. In the circle was Aaron, Bill, Gerrit, Nate, Jake, Matt, Jeremy, Tony, JayBird, Millard, Taylor and Mason.
Vivian was a dream all day. We woke her up at 6 so we could feed and drive to LA in time to get ready and settled. Aaron held her the entire time as I wanted him to already have her comfy and I felt like it was a special day for him and I just wanted him to have all the bonding and sweet time with her on that day. She slept the entire meeting in his arms and it was so sweet to see him just stare at her the whole time.
After the blessing we were able to visit with friends and the YW in the ward. Such a treat. Then we drove back home to relax a bit before family came over for dinner.
