Congrats!!

Today was a good day. Hospitals are not my favorite places to go. I really don't like going except when it is to go visit a family that has just delivered a baby. Today I went to visit one of our church couples in the hospital. Chad and Erin where seniors in high school when I first came to Chapel Pike. These many years later I've got to watch them get married and now give birth to their first child, a baby boy named Cohen. He is amazing. I'm so excited for them. It's even a bigger bonus that I got to hold him before Jaye did. We often race, Jaye and I, to see which one of us gets to hold the new babies in the church. It was so much fun listening to them talk about Cohen. They are going to be great parents. I was listening to them tell me about the trip to the hospital, the hours of labor and the excitement of birth. I was reminded of when Jaye and I had Jessica. All that waiting, the anticipation, the excitement of wanting to "see" your baby and the joy and love that you learn you have once you hold that little one in your arms. It was a good day.
