The Day My Life Changed

This post has been long overdue. As many of you know Natalie delivered our daughter, London Emma (7lbs 14oz, 20") at 12:53am on Saturday, April, 5th. in that moment my life was changed in a way that I have never felt before and may never since feel again. Sure college, marriage, and different jobs have brought about a degree of change. And of course, lord willing, when we have more offspring there will be a shift in our lives, but nothing absolutely nothing can compare to the moment that London and her cone head graced us with her presence. See when I went to college i had already been a student and an individual. Before getting married Natalie and I had known each other for over almost 7 years and dated for 4 years. And to be honest when it comes to jobs, well to some extent a job is a job and my identity is not wrapped up in a title or job description anyway. All of the above pale in comparison to being a father. There may be more kids but London will always be the first, the one who bestowed upon us the title of parents and one that we will never shed. over the past few days Nat and I have reminisced about our days in college and our wedding; still nothing could have ever prepared us to feel the way that we do right now. We are grateful for all of our family and friends that have been so supportive and whom we will rely on for continued support as parents. More than anything I cannot tell you how proud I am of my wife. Who after 23 hour of labor and 2 1/2 hours of pushing never gave up. What a Journey it has been and will continue to be! We hope that soon you get to me the new little lady in our lives.
