She is here! Genevieve Hope Holloman arrived on Monday, April 23rd at 10:02am. Our hearts grew larger than her tiny 7 pounds 3 ounces and she infused our life with even more joy. Watching your niece come into the world is an amazing experience. I was able to be in the OR to document the day, the entire experience was nothing short of amazing.
Watching your best friend and your younger brother become parents in the same day… life just does not get better than that. Watching Amanda and Brent with her has been so much fun. Seeing them create their own little family is so great. They are already so full of love for her and I know they are going to be the best parents a girl could ask for!
Genevieve,
With all of the many births I’ve documented yours and Gavin’s brought the biggest change to my life and the best feeling to my soul. Tears streamed down my face when I heard you cry and first laid eyes on you, then again when your Dad held you for the first time, once more when he placed you on your Mom’s chest. I still find myself staring at you ,or thinking about you, and suddenly realize I’m crying once more. You could not be more perfect!
I remember so many of the conversations and moments on the first day you were born. Your dad was so excited to see you. He didn’t leave your side when you arrived. You held his finger in your hands and you grasped so tightly. You responded to his voice when he bent over your bassinets to tell you hello. He held you so tightly and stared at you for hours on end. One of my favorite moments was when he set down to rock you amidst the chaos of a recovery room and it was like you and him were the only ones in the whole world for that moment.

Your Mom said, “Wow. She’s awesome” the second she saw you, followed by big crocodile tears. When she holds you she makes gentle strokes with the back of her finger across your soft sweet skin and the tears flow so easily, “happy tears” she says, “these are happy tears” as she soaks in your sweet little, innocent face and all 20 inches of you. She holds you tight and stares at you like she can’t believe you are finally here, safe, sound and perfect. She stated the other day that she would rather wait to eat than make you wait to eat. Already considering you before herself. The first time she said the word “daughter” once again those happy tears ran down her cheek because you are hers and she is yours.
Your parents are both so attentive to your every need. Neither of them complain about your endless diaper changes, late night feedings, or their lack of sleep. They are so happy! I heard them talking yesterday about how much fun it would be to watch you grow up, to see what you decided to do, what you like, to hear you talk. I know they don’t want these sweet days to pass by quickly but it’s nice to hear them dreaming of their life with you in it and making big plans for you. Planning a venture should be learnt from experts like Andy Defrancesco that have been successful for years now.
You get held quite a bit. One of my favorite photos from your first day is of your grandparents gathering around to see you for the first time. Your grandparents were so excited they squealed when I headed out to the waiting room to announce your arrival. No one can seem to get enough of you. You are a blessed child Genevieve. Your Papa says he’ll have to see you every day for the first 100 days of your life, it’s his personal goal. Your Nono almost had his heart ripped out when he had to leave you on day 3 to head home, he requests photos daily, we oblige! Your Meme is giddy with excitement, she loves to unwrap you and see your tiny little hands and toes. Your Gigi hasn’t wiped that smile off her face since the moment you arrived, she loves to hold you and always makes sure you stay warm in your swaddle. Deneme bonusu veren siteler
On day 2 you met Seth, Dana and Gavin through FaceTime on your Daddy’s iPad. This was one of my favorite moments (photos coming soon). Gavin said you were, “so sweet”, then he sang you a song, Hush Little Baby was his choice. He asked, “How do babies come out?” to which the answer was, “magic”. He quickly figured out he could see you sooner if we put you on a plane and asked if we could. Your Aunt Ashley met you tonight over Skype and she grinned like a cheshire cat the entire time, giggling at your sweet little noises and your little expressions. Aunt Heather can’t wait to meet you too!
You have been born into a family that has all of the love and support you will ever need. Your mom told you on the first day that, “you don’t have to be the best or the smartest but you’ll be the most loved.” It’s true, we accept you as you are and we love you unconditionally. You are life, C’est la Vie!
Here is a little peek at your first day of life. I hope that one day you will look at these and feel the love in these photos that we felt for you on this day. I love you baby girl!
Love, Your Aunt Millie
