Yesterday my life changed. Jill gave birth to Lilian Grace Benbow aka Lily Grace. I had no idea a grandchild could steal your heart so completely. My friends had warned me but I thought they were all on baby crack or something. Turns out they were understating what transpires, most likely because it is just so hard to verbalize without sounding like you've lost your grip on reality.
Lily Grace was born by C-Section on May 13th. Jill and Dillon haven't gotten much sleep since then and Jill is still a bit woozy. She's banned everyone from visiting today so she can recover and it's probably a wise decision on her part. She may as well get as much rest as she can while she's got a nursing staff to take care of things. Sucks for me because all I want to do is rock that beautiful little girl. I suppose I'll get lots of opportunities in the future but that isn't making today any easier.

ler drove up from Denver yesterday afternoon so they could meet our new girl. Everyone got a chance to hold her and make cooing noises in her face. She slept through the whole thing and had to be nudged awake so she could have her dinner. So far, she's a great sleeper and doesn't react too much to noises around her. Of course, she hasn't heard Moly barking yet. Poor Moly knows somethings up but she can't quite figure it out. She's staying here
with us and kept us awake most of the night with her crying. She's seems to think she's been abandoned and isn't too happy about it. Little does she know what's in store for her. In her confusion, she's taken to wearing one of Lily's little hats in the hope that it will help somehow.
