Callie's Baby Blessing!

Sunday, May 1, 2011

Callie was blessed today! What a great experience. It's always hard to time things with nursing babies. Church was at 12:30pm so it was kinda nice to have all morning to get the boys ready and Callie dressed. Babies always seem to have a mind of their own when it comes to feeding time! I tried to feed her at 12 but she didn't eat too great or very long.

When we got to church she was a little fussy. So I took her to the mother's lounge to try and feed her some more. I was thinking I had enough time since they still had to do announcements in church and pass the sacrament. WRONG! Luckily my sister Maryann came with me to see if she could help with anything. We were sitting in the mother's lounge chitchatting while I was feeding Callie and we were listening to the announcements from the speaker system in our room.

Maryann and I talked about how funny it would be if they called Callie up to be blessed and she wasn't even in there. Haha really funny. I told Maryann we had at least 10mins. because they have to pass the sacrament first. Just then we heard "And now we'll have the blessing of Ron and Shelly Huber's Baby. Callie Michelle Huber." Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Maryann and I both froze! I practically threw Callie at Maryann and told her to run. Then I adjusted my clothes and ran after her! Poor Ron was in the Chapel with a slightly panicked look on his face.

Thankfully we made it and Callie was blessed. It was such a beautiful prayer. My favorite part was when Ron blessed her to have a good relationship with her mother! I almost cried. I think it's a pretty common fear for parents to worry that their children might not like them. I know I do, which is why it was really comforting to hear her be blessed with that.

We weren't able to get any individual pictures with her in her dress. But I'm definitely going to have her pictures taken in her dress again sometime soon.
