He's Here...
Bo and Angie had their first baby on Monday, August 1, 2011 in Athens, GA. Dan and I had gone to his parents' house for the weekend and Bo and Angie came over to see everyone Sunday afternoon. We were all together when Angie came back from the bathroom to let us know her water broke. After that, we jumped in the car and headed to Athens.
She had Durham the next day at lunch time. He was 7lbs 6oz and 21 inches long. We're so excited for them! Here are a few pictures from the journey to parenthood :)

Dan's turn to hold Durham-sleeping babies are always fun to hold!
Having the job that I do reminds me that with each birth our health is truly a blessing. I look at the babies in our hospital and see parents struggling to get through each day. The anticipation and joy of a healthy birth is such a gift that not all receive. I am reminded now and so often that the Lord gives and He takes away... it's in His time and in His plan and sometimes it doesn't make much sense to us. Regardless of wealth, beauty, jobs, influence...none of that matters without our health. It puts things in perspective when a baby is born without complications. We are so lucky. Bless this little man... and his parents with sleep, patience, and appreciation for all you have given, Lord. Congratulations, Bo and Angie!
Durham is almost two months old now. Time flies... more pictures the next visit!
