He started his arrival on our due date, late on the 13th (love that punctuality) with my water breaking while out to a delicious Christmas dinner with my coworkers. However, the process of getting him here took quite a bit of time and work, actually 24 hours of labor followed by a cesarean. When the doctor finally announced his arrival, she joked that I'd birthed a toddler, and he has proven to be a big happy boy in the month that we've known him.
We feel so honored, and honestly, somewhat overwhelmed to be his parents. But we could not be more in love and grateful to God for his Grace in giving us Bruin, our little Bear.
We pray he lives to be a man who loves Jesus, cares for people well and lives life fully.
And in the short term, we pray he learns to sleep at night...........thankfully he's deliciously cute, which makes up for the lack of sleep, though I admit to being completely biased.
Our friend Kaela at Kaela Mey Photography took some beautiful photos of Bruin at two weeks. I'm so grateful to have some infant photos of him now that he's looking so much more like a big baby these days.
Kirk and I are so in love with this baby.
