Events Preceding the Birth of Nathan


The boys were dropped off at our house at bedtime the night before the big event.
Mom and Nathan got a big hug.

Andrew and Josh were up early, ate breakfast, and were ready to load up by 7 a.m.

Patiently waiting with Grandpa before we knew anything...we were only told that Katie
had been taken back to O.R. and if we would stay around in the hall we would see her before
they would......this was the information given from the nurses in the postpartum area.

A little funny....the shades were down in the nursery and we had been waiting for what
seemed like forever...I kept looking between the blinds for a baby. Finally, I saw one and could only see enough to know there was a baby and I could see his little chin......I could just tell that had to be him....the "chin thing", you know. I went back to the postpartum nurses and said, "I think that is our baby in there, because I recognize the chin.....could you please open the blinds". They said, "if there is a baby in there, it is yours, because she (Katie) is the only one back there". They opened the blinds up and there was the boy's new brother and their Daddy.......what a treat!
