First Entry

Well this begins a new journey for Blakely. This is a new and up to date way to journal Blakely's moments. We hope that all who visit her site will enjoy watching as our wonderful baby girl grows up. Blakely you blessed our lives on August 24, 2005. God could have not given us a more perfect gift. You weighed 7 pounds, 13 ounces and were 21 inches long. Your whole name is Blakely Elizabeth Pope. We named you after your Great Granny Liz (Elizabeth) and a beautiful sweet young girl that I used to watch at a daycare in college. I just fell in love with the name Blakely and I knew it would be perfect for you. You had quite a bit of dark hair. Luckily I didn't really have to experience labor. We had a planned C-Section. Your Dad and I planned it on your dad's birthday, so he got the best present ever. When we first saw you baby girl, we had so many tears of joy and happiness. We couldn't believe that our loving savior could give us such a perfect gift. That day will always be such a blessing to us. As you grow we only hope that you will live life to the fullest, inspire those around you, chase your dreams and let God guide you into the direction he has chosen for you. We love you Blakely! Mom and Dad
