We had Emma's baptism last Sunday and it went very well. Managed to feed her before the ceremony and she didn't cry at all! She was a bit fussy at first when we put the baptism gown on her and passed her around for photo-taking, but calmed down after that and fell asleep right before we started.
I wasn't expecting it, but I was holding back tears during the ceremony. Felt so happy and proud and bursting to have my baby baptised. Felt like I was giving back to God this perfect little creature that he gave to me.
After the deed was done. A is holding her baptism cert and candle. Emma is wearing the baptism gown that my MIL bought 10 years ago when her first grandchild was baptised, and she is the third baby in the family to wear it.
Waiting for the ceremony to start. Our trusty sling at work again!
With S, the proud godmother.
This was taken after the third pour of water. You can see her flailing her arm in protest - she doesn't like having water poured on her
The symbolic 'white garment' that all the babies received. I love how it proclaims her to be a Child of God
