Your time has come. We have waited a good long while for your arrival and the time is here. Currently your mom is trying to get some rest as this is still early on in labor. I will be doing the same shortly. We want our OB to be the one to deliver you since she has been the one tending to yours and your momma's health this whole time. So, they will be administering pitocin around 4am to progress things forward.
I want to let you know that the way your birth has been so far has been a reminder to your mother and me of how God still hears our prayers. We have prayed all along in the pregnancy for several things. More specifically we asked that her water wouldn't break while she was at work teaching, we asked that I would be with her when it was time to go to the hospital, and we asked that it would happen in the evening. All of which has come to pass.
Her water broke at 5:28 pm today, but had it occured yesterday I wouldn't have been here because I was in a training session for work all day and didn't get home until later.
We have been planning and preparing for you to enter our world. We already love you with all of our heart and will do anything to protect you and establish you so that you may grow on your own.
I'm excited to finally get to share with our friends and family what your name is! However, since you haven't officially been born yet... it has to wait... for now :-)
You are beautiful my son, and I love you very much. I can hear your heart beat right now as we listen in on your world to make sure you are okay while nestled in Mommy's tummy. Just know that your heart has been close to mine for a long time now.
Love,
Your Papa "Daddy-D"
