So, that just happened

We made a baby. A beautiful, happy, noisy, amazing baby. She’s absolutely gorgeous. I can’t stop staring at her. OR my amazing, beautiful, gorgeous wife. Both of them are so strong and such an inspiration.

I just wanted to quickly say thank you to so many people who have sent tweets, facebook messages, texts and phone calls with such amazing positivity and kindness. I was sharing them with Kelci as best as I could.

They meant the world to us. So, I bet you want to see photos, don’t you? Good thing I took some. The full set is Kathy click here.

Resting up before the baby arrives.

Yes, I took a picture while she was pushing. She did amazing.

A little attention from the NICU nurses. Nurses rock.

Just seconds after mommy got to hold her for the first time. Kylah needed a little extra cleaning up before Kelci could hold her.

Mommy and Kylah share a special time.

Relaxing. I had a long journey, but the world is now mine. I can't wait to see it all.

I’ll get into the birth process later. I’m hoping Kelci will share her experiences soon as well. For now, I’ll just say they both did amazing. Her water broke at about 6:30 am and by shortly after 8 pm we had Kylah in our arms.

Amazing.
