He's Here!

Wednesday morning, June 25 at 8:18am, Troy Dylan McAfee made his grand entrance into our lives! After a long 2 days (and an especially hard night) of contractions, I went into the hospital and Troy was born about 3 hours later. He weighed in at 6 pounds 8 ounces and was 19 1/4 inches long. He came out with a full head of hair, not unlike myself at that age. He's such an adorable baby and was a hit with all the nurses at the hospital. Everyone couldn't wait to see his hair! The whole thing was a bit surreal; we couldn't believe that this was our baby that we had waited 10 long months for. It's been such an amazing experience so far. I never knew I could have such an immediately intense love for someone. Everytime I look at him and think how much I love him, tears hit my eyes. It's the coolest thing. Chad loves being a dad and is doing an amazing job with him. He changes diapers and gives him baths, and when I can't calm Troy down, I know Chad will be able to. I'm so blessed with such a wonderful husband and father for our child, and with such a wonderful, amazing baby boy.
