"Dr. Ihrke? Yes, we are on the way to the hospital right now. See you soon!" Wednesday, May 7th my water broke and I went into early labor. It was so exciting to pack and bring our stuff to the hospital. We were going to meet our boy soon!
This photo was taken moments after Elijah Samuel's birth: 9:36 a.m. on Thursday, May 8th. I will never forget when they placed him on me and he looked in my eyes for the first time. I love you, Elijah! I'm your mommy!
Nate is so in love with our little guy! I loved watching the two of them meet for the first time and bond together--father and son!
Nate's face was filled with joy. What love the father has for his son!
Holding Elijah for the first time. Look at those two! What a pair!
Here we are--a family of three with our wonderful doctor--Dr. Abigail Ihrke! Praise God from Whom all blessings flow! What joy!
My friend of 14 years became a doctor and was there for me to deliver our first child, a son! Isn't God's plan wonderful! It was so special that right after he was born we all gathered around and she prayed for Elijah Samuel.
I am so in love with you, my little Elijah!
Daddy is so cuddly with his little boy. Aren't they precious! Nate is the best daddy ever!
We took about 300 photos, but this one is precious. Elijah is looking at us and we are getting to know him. I love how he does cute things with his little hands and how cozy he is to hold.
Isn't he precious!! I just love those eyes and those little lips so perfectly painted on!
Homecoming day. We are just about to leave the hospital. I love the flowers my mom brought me. What a fun time for our baby to be born--right before mother's day! We are just amazed at God's creation and miraculous plan.
We love you, Elijah Samuel! May you grow to know Jesus Christ and to know God's great love for you. You are a precious gift from God, your Creator!
The family was there to welcome him home. When I saw the sign in the yard, "It's a boy!" I almost cried! That sign was for us--we were bringing our baby home! What a special time! Thank you again, Lord!
