Our beautiful Melissa was determined to bravely have the baby naturally but things didn't work out the way we all planned and hoped. She ended up having to have a C-section and had a few scary complications - but thankfully all is well. He weighed 6 lbs. 9 oz. and was 21 inches long. He is perfect and beautiful and Spencer and Melissa are beyond happy. We are all so overjoyed to have him here safe and sound and we are so proud of the new parents. We love you guys! Can't wait to watch Noah grow up. Well...... I take that back. Don't grow up too fast little one!
Grandson number 5 and our 8th grandchild. We are blessed indeed.
Spencer was able to be in the O. R. with Melissa and witness the miracle of his birth. He was very moved and emotional and so in awe of the whole event. We're proud of you too Spence. We love you!
Amy braved out the long night with us and was thrilled to be there for the birth of sweet Noah. We were a little worried about her being there since she'll be having her own laboring in 5 months or so but she was so happy to see what it's like on the other side. She came away from it saying she can hardly wait for it to be her turn. Brave girl Amy, brave girl!
Even though it's been 26 years since I gave birth, it brought all kinds of memories back and I could feel Melissa's pain - and joy - right along with her. We love all our "babies" that have grown up so beautifully and are such great human beings! I must say it was very difficult to watch our beautiful daughter go through pain. We love her so much and are so very proud of her. She was incredible, never complained and remained strong throughout the long day and night. Way to go Miss! There is nothing in the world like bringing a new baby into it.
