There are days in history that demand our attention at least once a year in honor of whatever it is that we celebrate. On this day, July 4th, 2009, Jen and I along with our friends and family, find ourselves coming together for not just the fireworks celebration that we have been accustomed to. We are honored to come together for the beautiful gift of life. 8lbs 1oz Kai Eliot was welcomed 3 days early, and for a 5' nothing wife of mine to carry a 8lbs baby boy is an impressive and powerful display of how the female body is a miracle in itself.
We arrived at the Hospital just before 8 am and by 10am our big little boy was ready to enter the chilly hospital room where he would make a husband and wife also become a mother and father. From my perspective, this was probably the most amazing thing i could witness as a human being. from the talks of when we wanted to start a family, to the physical changes I witnessed a female body go through, to the child birth education classes, to even the long partnership of dealing with contractions and finally labor. It was the single most rewarding thing I have experienced ever and have to thank Jen for letting me be a part of it.
