Cora, your name means "filled heart" . Your daddy picked it before we were even married. One of his favorite movies is "The Last of the Mohicans" and Cora is one of the sisters in the story. He hoped we would have a beautiful daughter one day that we could name that too. Grace is after Grandma Karla's mother who she loved so much and went to heaven too early. G.K. always talks about how much she loves and misses her mom and your mommy always loved that and can't wait to meet her in heaven. Your name is very special to us, it is all about love and the culmination of so many years of dreaming about you. You have many birth family members that love you and will miss seeing you in person. Your birth sister Jessica had the hardest time because she loves you so much. She wanted to name you Valerie and bought you a special sisters locket so you will always remember that she loves you. Your mommy really likes that name but when we prayed about it, we knew you were supposed to be our Cora Grace. We think you like it and we really think you like us cause you are so good and quiet for us (so far). You have been trying to open your eyes a lot to see us and are curious about your brother seeming so uninterested. BUT your cousin Stewart is in LOVE with you and can't stop looking at you and asking about you, it's sweet. cousin Adelle was pretty tired when you came home so she will have a reported reaction later. Your uncle Jesse and aunt Kelli couldn't wait for you to come to their house where we are staying. They held you a lot and are the best hosts so we may never leave. Lucky for you, Aunt Kelli is keeping your brother Evan busy so he doesn't try to jump on you. ;) Every minute you are in our arms, you get cuter and cuter and every moment a stronger bond to you is made. Thank you for coming to our family sweet baby daughter. xoxo
