Today was my 26th birthday. I woke up this morning to a phone call at 6 am from my best friend Steph wishing me a happy birthday and letting me know it was "time". She wasn't due until next Friday, but her little man Cristian decided to grace us with his presence on my birthday. What's funny is that Steph was over for lunch yesterday and we were joking about how Cristian and I just may end up sharing a birthday, although we weren't truly expecting it to actually happen. Labor lasted about 9 hours and he was born happy and healthy at 7 lbs., 1 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long.
This is such an exciting new venture for Steph and me. We have been best friends since the first day of freshman year of high school and we have been through a lot together....now, we both have our first children, both boys and they are only 6 weeks and one day apart. Steph will be going back to work in six weeks and I will be keeping Cristian home with me and Zack three days a week after that.
Luis is such a proud daddy. He did so well at supporting and encouraging Steph through her labor.
Just makes me cry seeing how happy they are that he is finally here.
I think it's about time that Stephie gets some rest :)
Hi sweet boy! We've waited so long for you!
What an amazing gift from God. We are truly blessed and so is he.
Heather and Steph and I have been best friends for a long time. Heather and I wouldn't have missed this moment for the world. Even being as tired as she is, Steph is still beautiful.
