He's Here

Well folks, he is finally here. The miracle that we've been waiting for. CORBAN GAD CAMPBELL. Weighing in at 7lbs and 10oz and 20.25 inches long. What a blessing he has been.

I was in labor for 18 hours, but it was so worth it. The last 4 of those 18 hours I was laboring old school way...no pain medicine. I did get an epidural earlier in labor, but by the time pushing came around, it had worn off. Looking back, I don't think I would of done it any other way. I pushed for about 2 hours. It wouldn't of taken so long if I had thinned out all the way and if he wasn't turned sideways. That's what the doctor said.

I can't believe I am a mom now. There is nothing else like it! I didn't know my heart could make so much room for such a little guy. I now know what they mean when they talk about a mother's heart. I am responsible for this little boy. It's freightening and wonderful all at the same time. I am held accountable by God to make sure he grows up in the wisdom and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus. I wonder if I will make a great mother. If I will pass the test of parenthood and see the fruit of this labor when he is older?

But right now, my heart is content on being his everything. Completely dependant on Wes and I for love, care, support and nourishment. I love this little boy. More than words can say. My prayer for him is to grow up knowing Jesus loves him and knowing who he is in Christ. To be a warrior for the Kingdom of God and against the powers of darkness. I want him to be confident, loving and giving. I want him to be just like his Daddy. Always thinking of others before himself. A hard worker and a loving husband.
