Little Miracle

Ah, it's good to be home again. I just spent the last three weeks away from home, Chris, my kitties, and all the usual stuff I take for granted. But, I also have to say that I had a wonderful time in Prescott visiting my family and friends. Chris and I have made a tradition of going to Arizona for Thanksgiving every year and unfortunately Chris was feeling under the weather and was unable to come with me this year.

Luckily, I was able to hitch a last-minute ride with my sister, Stefanie, so I could visit with my dad and grandparents. The main reason I had to be there was for my best friend Juliet, who was awaiting an arrival from the stork. After many, many long walks and every trick in the book to get labor started, she finally went into labor on Friday, December 1st—just two weeks into my visit. Finally, after more than 25 hours of agonizing labor, Jaxon Kayo Lane made his arrival into the world on Saturday night, December 2nd. Weighing in at 7 lb. 6 oz. he was a perfect bundle of joy.

Being in the delivery room with Juliet during both labor and the birth of Jaxon, holding her hand the whole way through is something I will never forget. It was truly an amazing experience for me.

I am back home now for the time being but will shortly be taking off again. Chris and I will be joining his parents to go up to Washington for Christmas. I am looking forward to this very much as I have yet to meet his grandmother who lives up in Snohomish, Washington, where we will be staying. It is looking like it is going to be a very interesting and wonderful Christmas this year.
