Our beautiful first son is finally here! We have been so blessed! He is a perfect 10! (fingers and toes, that is!) He has guite a bit of hair on that little head of his, and it is a reddish-blond color!
His eyes are blue (so far), his nose is teeny, and his fingers are long--so everyone tells us!

I have never experienced a love like I feel for this little bundle. From the moment they laid him on my stomach all gooey, and cone headed-and I held on to his skinny little leg to keep him close, I knew I would never stop loving this beautiful creation that God gave me. Made inside of me. Was and is part of me.

Aaron cut the cord, they cleaned him up, and handed him into my open heart. We both cried, and I couldn't believe I was a mommy. The labor was "laborious", painful, exhausting, etc. The days after were nothing I could have ever prepared myself for in trials. But none of that matters now, and I would do it all again, just to hold the darling angel in my arms, and have him look at me with those big, innocent, totally dependant eyes.

Some of my favorite memories of Banick's birthday are- my water breaking on the couch at 5:30 in the morning, and me running into the bedroom to tell Aaron "it's time!". My mom, dad, and Aaron's mom being there supporting. Aaron praying the sweetest prayer for me right before I was about to push. Me having to hold my own legs up while my arms and hands were completely dead numb. And holding Banick's naked little body up to my heart to feel it's beat for him.

We love you Baby Boy. Can't wait to spend life with you.
