Congratulations Emily and Matthew!
My freind and teaching colleague, Emily, gave birth to sweet little baby Lucas on 12/23. He came in at 21 1/2 inches and weighing 7 pounds 15 ounces. I can't wait to kiss that sweet little head full of red hair, just like her mommy's hair.
Good news and bad news:
Good news: Matthew was able to come home from Iraq long enough for the baby to be born.
Bad news: He has to leave tomorrow to go back and won't be able to come home for 9 months.
Emily is a very strong and structured lady (a math teacher if that tells you anything, very different from us English teachers) and I know she will be fine. However, I can't imagine my husband not being around to help with the kids. Honestly, he is one of the most hands on fathers I've ever known. Also, I can't imagine missing the first 9 months of my child's life.
Question: What were your favorite memories of the first 9 months of your child/children's lives?
Aiden: Napping with him on the couch. He was not a huge sleeper so any extra minutes were divine.
Audrey: Watching her react to music around her. She loved watching Dancing with the Stars with me. The bright colors of the costumes and the rhythmic music entranced her.
