Hello!  My name is Marilynn!  Welcome to my pregnancy journal! 

Well, Arielle was born on January 24 of this year!  It has been fascinating to watch her grow and develop, to watch her play and learn.  It has been heartwarming to calm her tears just by holding her, to have her reach out and touch my face, to see her smile, and to be able to put her to sleep by cuddling with her.  Being a mother is such an emotional ride.  It gets frustrating but in the end, her smiles brighten my day and having her in my arms warms my heart.
