Whew! After so many agonizing hours (for Jared and Jordan, too! LOL), Theo arrived this morning with a little help from a surgical team. Everyone's fine and doing well.
I've already added his birthday to my iPhone calendar because that's what you do in a haze of Joy and Relief and Oh I Don't Know What.
He's beautiful and sweet, and I can't wait to see him and hold him and breathe him in like the first spring breeze after a long, cold winter.
I want to hold my son and tell him again how much I love him and how proud I am of him. And I want to hug Jordan and tell her what a warrior she is and how I love her for her strength and unwavering devotion.
It's a Big Day. Theo is here.
Hooray!!! So exciting. Phew. I'm so excited for you. I still remember when Lad was little, we'd occasionally think back on a time and wonder - BUT WAIT, WHO WAS WATCHING LAD WHEN WE INSERT EVENT: (went to that wedding, or visited that city, or whatever) and then we'd laugh and remember - OH YEAH, HE WASN'T BORN YET.
ReplyDeleteLife changing and hard to remember a day BEFORE.
Yay!!! Love the name Theo. What a wonderful Thanksgiving present:)
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Welcome Theo! What a relief it must be for them (and you) (but especially HER!) to have him out and be resting! WHEW! I had to run downstairs and get my other computer because I can't comment on my iPad which is SO STUPID ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM EXCITED!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all!!! —So glad baby Theo is finally here, safe and healthy. Hug, hold, embrace and enjoy! Thanksgiving in your family will always be extra special. XXOO

ReplyDeleteJoyful day for all of you! Congratulations, Grandma.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness! Hope all are well! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteEveryone--You're all so kind to share my Joy. We visited yesterday (Wednesday) at the hospital and I could have camped there overnight. Theo has filled my heart so full. At one point Rick said, "Distract them. I'll put him under my shirt and you follow me to the car."
ReplyDeleteDamn those RFID bracelets.
How Absolutely Splendid. You held him and he was warm and small and precious. I hope Jordan is recovering well from what must have been an epic battle, and your son with her. Theo. I like it. Sending a Well Wish!
ReplyDeleteAfterthought. My grandmother used to do what my mother called "sitting under the baby" with my infants. Perfect, eh.
ReplyDeleteOh, so lovely!!! CONGRATULATIONS! And you got to visit already? Lovely and Lucky!! Welcome to the world, Theo! You are so very loved <3
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Welcome, Theo ❣️
ReplyDeleteThank you, friends. Your good wishes here mean so much. Our family is so happy.
ReplyDeleteTheo. I love his name!! Congratulations to all of you---you've just entered into a new, fun chapter of life.
ReplyDeleteHi, Nance. I'm not up to catching up on commenting but I am reading all your posts and I definitely wanted to comment on this one. Congratulations to all and welcome to the world, little Theo! I love his name and I find myself thinking of him and your family's joy at least once a day and that makes me smile. I'm so very happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you again to my caring friends here. It means the world to me to have you celebrate Theo's arrival with me. You can't know how supported and cared for I feel. I'm so grateful.
