Sometimes in life you experience moments of joy that are just to precious to explain! On August 16th our son and daughter in law had a beautiful little son come into this world and join our family. He was born a month early and so the time was unexpected but he still weighed in at 6lbs. 12oz. and he was 19 inches tall. He was born at 4:04 a.m. and he is the sweetest thing ever! We got to the hospital about 11:30 and Dave, Melissa, Lindsay and I waited at the hospital for the little arrival patiently, with heads bobbing now and then with want of sleep! : )
Finally at 4:04 he came into this world and because he was early he had a little bit of trouble breathing on his own so we couldn't hold him as he needed to head down to receive oxygen and other things for awhile. But we did get to look at him in his baby cart they put the babies in and touch his sweet little face. That was worth it all!!!
Rachel did fantastic and Dan looked like the proudest father in the universe! We are SO excited for them to experience all the joys and learning of parenthood. They are both wonderful people and I know that they will teach little Thomas Daniel Soderberg all that he needs to know in this life to be successful and happy.
We have since had chances to hold Thomas and he is so precious. It never ceases to amaze me what a miracle human life really is! We look forward to enjoying his sweet spirit for a long time to come. Family really is what matters I believe! : )
