eric and i were talking the other day about zaida's birth, and i asked him if he had one moment that stuck out from the others as "that moment". (we had 14 hours in the car together, so we had some time.) he said it was when he was in the nursery with zaida and he looked out at holly and my dad watching from the other side of the glass, and it just hit him, "i'm a dad, and this is my baby!" how cool!
my moment was right after she made her way into the world and they plopped her on my chest. it was the first time that i saw this little being who had been living inside me for the past nine months. i'll spare you the pic of this, but it was one of the most amazing moments of my life.
the pic above is my friend carolyn who i taught with in florida. she and her husband have desired to become parents for years, and after months of ups and downs... their prayers have been answered. they are the now the proud parents of a little boy. when she sent this picture, i knew this was her moment-- the first time she held her son in her arms. whether your baby grows in your belly, or someone else's, God has a plan for every little baby, and am so happy that carolyn and her husband have been connected to their little man. congrats to them!!
