Our friends Angel and Cody had a gorgeous baby girl on October 1st, 8 lbs and 20". Her name is Story Jane which is a little different but it already seems to be the right name for her. 3 days before she was born Angel thought she seemed to be in the wrong position and asked the doctor, who is our doctor as well, to check and sure enough Story was breech, waiting to introduce her best assets to the world. The plan had been to do a normal birth and that changed real quick as she had to have caesarean. I told her to just do handstands to get her out of the birth canal and then flip her real quick but she went with the c-section. Story is so beautiful and perfect and her older sister Gabi is so excited to teach her all she needs to know.
I have not had a whole lot of experience with little babies, or really until the last few years kids at all. I couldn't wait to hold her and Danielle says I looked like a little kid myself, all eager and smiling. Holding that tiny new life was so amazing and pulled at my heart in such a new way I felt so impatient for our own new life to join us. She looks like her sister and is just as adorable. She would make the cutest faces and I told Danielle I think I found a bigger goofball than Gabi. Danielle asked if I meant the little baby or the grown man holding a baby with tears in his eyes. I meant the baby but I think Danielle found the biggest goofball.
The abrupt change in Story's birth made us both realize that even the best laid plans sometimes get sidelined at the last minute and we definitely need to try to be ready for anything, good or bad or just different than planned.
