For those of you who are already parents, you'll understand perfectly when I say I haven't had much time to write since the actual induction Sunday morning.
It's was 23 hours and 44 minutes from the time we arrived at the hospital to Holden's debut...
I'm excited to share the amazing spiritual and transcendent experience that labor and delivery was for all of us -- mom, baby and Daddy. But for now, it suffices to say that nothing really worked the way we were expecting; and it was all entirely perfect.
Holden has joined us... made our family complete to this point; and he is a miracle in more than one way.
He was born Sunday evening at 6:46 pm, 7 pounds 10 ounces, 21.5 inches of perfection...
Thank you to those of you who have already left well wishes and congratulations via text, email, phone, facebook, this blog, etc. We appreciate it. (and my apologies for not getting back to you,... we've been a bit preoccupied. ;)
We plan on returning from the hospital on Thursday and I hope to share our amazing birthing story with you all sometime after... but for now, it's time to nurse again and I can hardly stand to be on the other side of the room from him.
My blessing, my miracle, my precious baby Holden.

I am not sure who this "Adam" character is who guessed Holden would be 14 lbs, but I am pretty sure I technically won bragging rights for guessing Holden's arrival date ect. If you need any other predictions let me know I am pretty much psychic.
Congratulations Sabrena! I am so happy for you that your sweet baby is here!
Congrats! Enjoy every minute of him! They grow up too fast!
Congratulations! Nothing better than a new baby! You just want to kiss them all day :)

Congratulations my dear ones!
Congratulations to all three of you. A terrific jazz musician named Bob Dorough said it way better than I ever could, and you all know the song. Pretty soon Holden will learn it too. Here you go:

We are so happy for you!! And kind of envious--we miss our babies, and our own far-away grandchildren for that matter. Holden's a real cutie. We think of him as a grandnephew-in-law (or something like that!) Loves,

Sabrena- CONGRATULATIONS! I saw on Cicely's blog you had your first son, Holden. I love the name. I am also expecting a boy in June and can't wait. You look amazing- Good Luck with everything.
