At 2 am I called Adam, who needed to hightail it home from 29 Palms, CA.
I drove to the hospital and had a friend meet me. Two other friends joined us a few hours later and all three of them stayed with me through the whole ordeal. They laughed with me, they prayed over me, and they cheered me on. The Dr. remarked "If you couldn't have your husband here with you, at least you have Team Estrogen."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
At 12:19 pm Garrett Achilles Thomas made his debut and all I could do was laugh and cry all at the same time.
Adam made it to the hospital at 6pm.
(This is pretty much my favorite picture from that day.)
We're pretty much in love with this little guy. We think we'll keep him.
He eats a lot and sleeps a lot these days and so far we think we're figuring this whole parent thing out. (Ask me that again in a few weeks.) When he's full and half asleep and dreaming he smiles. When he cries it's like a little baby Pterodactyl. And isn't this just the sweetest face?
Adam is taking a few extra days of leave and then heads back out the CA for two more weeks of training. We've been so blessed by the friends and family that have checked in and stopped in and brought us meals.
And I am forever indebted to Team Estrogen!
