He's here

Our sweet little man arrived on December 22, 2011 at 9:14 am.  He weighed 7 lb and 11 oz and was 20 inches long.   He arrived VERY quickly after we got to Presbyterian Plano, and we found a doctor available at our OB practice literally just in time.  The delivery nurse was calling around trying to find a doctor who could deliver our little man.   I felt very safe and secure  having the nurse deliver him, so either way was fine.


It was certainly one of the three most incredible moments of my life thus far. The other two being marrying my best friend and delivering our precious Kaitlyn Grace in 2009.  There is just absolutely no feeling in the world like seeing a miracle from God for the first time and holding his sweet, tiny little fingers.


First words out of the doctor's mouth after he was born..."wow, he is really active!"  Hmmm.....  Check back in two years for updates on his toddler-hood!  

Here we are as we are checking in on Wednesday. I was in labor and LOTS of pain, but not enough  labor, so they sent me home. Yikes.  We spent the day trying to rest and went walking around the Galleria that night.  That did the trick...

Less than 24 hours later, we are back.

Here's my sweet Dad and brother.  It meant the whole world to have my family there with me that morning. 

Everything's all ready for you, little boy!

Break for the actual delivery.  :-)
