my baby girl…

May 20, 2011 By Lynn 29 Comments

..had a baby!   I was so fortunate to experience the birth of my first grandchild this morning and I brought along my camera to record the event.

Gianna Lynn Okun, was born today at 11:15am,  7lbs, 19.5 inches.

I cried watching my daughter give birth to this precious little one. Her eyes are so big and alert, watching everything going on around her. With Dan’s help, Kate did great, congratulations you two!!

As I held Gianna in my arms for the first time today,  this overwhelming love came over me. All I can say is  “It feels great to be a Grandmother”!  Can’t wait to spoil my Baby Gi!

    Lynn,

    Congratulations to everyone – I also experienced my daughter give birth to Noelle – and it is something that touches your heart so deeply. I can remember the tears, the smiles, the anticipation.

    The photographs are so awesome (such big eyes) and I am going to see Gianna, Kate and Dan this morning. I would love the photo with Kate, Gianna and Dan at some point.

    I am so blessed to have another grandchild and I know you will share with me. I love Kate so much – she is a very special woman and I am so grateful to have all of you in my life.

    See you soon.

    Gianna’s Mimi

    Dear Lynn….Gianna is precious beyond words, what a beautiful, healthy baby!!! All the images are wonderful, I especially love the one with Gianna looking wide eyed with a smile at her mother and Kate looking back….this single shot could bring me to tears, you caught this magical moment between mother and daughter with heavenly perfection! And Lynn….from the angel, Kate looks quite a lot like you in these shots!

    Sincere blessings to each and everyone of you! Busting at the seams with joy are emotions I LOVE to see surround the growing Damon family!

    I know it’s a bit “early” but I have a teeny tiny pair of ballet slippers to present to darling Gianna….

    With Love,

    Bette-Ann

    This will no doubt be a well documented gradchild, phographically. What won’t be so obvious is the capture of great opportunity for life, as read between the wrinles, and the wide eyes. This will be wonderful, as Nancy says. Congratulations, Grandparents, Mom and Dad, and Gianna!
    Best,
    Chris and Tracy
