A video of our little lady!

Hey guys!

So, I'm off for the next 2 weeks. Learning to be a daddy, learning how to change diapers, learning how to be rested on 2 hours of sleep. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Madelyn has taught me what it means to love unconditionally. In between all the hoopla, Steph and I put together a video of Madelyn's first moments....I'm humbled that you wanna check it out, because it means the world to us..I have cried about a dozen times watching this...Then again, I cry when I watch Titanic still. Enjoy!!!

Congratulations Glenn & Steph. She is beautiful and your video really touched my heart. Thank you for sharing such an important part of your lives with us. My husband and I hope to one day be blessed with a child of our own. They are a precious gift, one not to be taken for granted as so many do. Take care and always love one another.

That is an awesome video. It made me tear up just watching it, and also made me think of the past 16 months with my little boy. Enjoy every second!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations you two. I love the first song that accompanied your video and I was crying, too. I only wish I had documented the births of my children like this. Madelyn is a treasure and looks just fabulous. Steph does, too! Good luck you sweet little family!

"I Can Only Imagine" is one of my most favorite songs, so appropriate for this event. The tears were flowing for the joy of this little one. Congratulations Stephanie & Glenn on this beautiful child you've created. Love the name, so personal and unique. The video was amazing, thanks for sharing such personal/private moments with us. May God continue to bestow his blessings on your family.

Congrats to you and Steph. I was very touched by that video and I don't think I cried as much when both my kids were born as I just did now. I felt like I was sharing your joy!The song, the first moments, it was all beautiful! The whole pregnancy/birthing process is a miracle!
Now the fun begins! LOL

Congratulations! She is a real beauty. Enjoy every minute with her. They grow up so fast. I'm a Grandmother now and it's even better than being a parent. I'll bet your Moms are in heaven. Remember, she is mom's daughter but she will always be daddy's little girl. I'm so happy for you all.
Best wishes and god bless. Oh and by the way, love the middle name!

Congratulations Glenn & Stephanie.

I may get my "man card" revoked, because I had tears rolling down my eyes when I watched your vid.

Cherish every moment, because it goes so fast. I can still remember cutting the cord on my little girl almost 18 years ago. Now its cheerleader, National Honor Society, Prom Court, driving and all the pain and joy that goes along with it.

God bless your family.

Glenn,
I have folowed your baby blog all the way thru and I have to say that I have never in my life been more touch by the emotion I felt from your words. Your baby is absolutely beautiful and you could not have picked a more perfect & fitting name for her. I love Merlot and the meaning behind it. I hope that you & Steph will always be as happy as you were the day that Madelyn was born. I know that I am with my two boys - my life could not be more blessed. Thank you for sharing this beautiful time with all your listeners. I wish you love & happiness always with your beautiful daughter.

I became a grandma for the first time a year ago and my grandson Harrison has given me the honor and privlege of re-learning the simple things in life. God Bless all three of you! Ginnie
