What an exciting night!! I've said all along this child was a night owl and I was right! Last night around 11pm I was in bed trying to go to sleep and my water broke. I awoke Jon and after speaking to the doctor we gathered our bags and headed for the hospital. They started pitocin since my water was broken and I wasn't having any contractions on my own. I progressed from 1cm to 4cm in 2 hours with contractions every 1.5-2 minutes. About that time I requested an epidural....which was wonderful for contractions, but didn't help when pushing. Chance was so cooperative though and came into the world after only 11 pushes at 9:57am. He weighed 6# 13 oz and was 19 inches long. Thank the Lord, he is a strong, healthy, beautiful baby boy! Jon and i aren't really sure who he looks like yet. Sometimes he looks just like Jon and others times he looks more like me. here are some pictures of our miracle straight from heaven. Many, many thanks for your prayers. We couldn't possibly feel more blessed. Here are a few pictures from today. Will try to post more soon. But wanted to share a few with everyone.
My life changed when I walked into a theatre arts class my freshman year of high school. That is where I first met my future husband! On March 6, 2004 I married my soul mate. Jon is the most wonderful husband in the world and I'm thankful for him every day!
One of the biggest desires of our heart was to be parents. After years of trying to have a baby and struggles with fertility treatments we were blessed with a pregnancy. Those were words my heart had ached to utter for so long. On March 15, 2010 God brought into our lives a precious baby boy. Chance is everything I have hoped, dreamed and prayed for. Praise God for such extraordinary miracles!
During this time God also chose to relocate us from our home in Texas to Northern Virginia. We miss our friends and family, but are thankful for the wonderful people we've met here in Virginia. We feel so blessed and want to share this new chapter in our lives with the people we love!
He is so beautiful - congratulations! Luv, Cousin Kel
