A happy day in history

A happy day in history

Coleee

November 28, 1998

Pro-create in '98, indeed!

At 3:30 p.m. today, the results came in: positive.

We are having another baby.

Damn! We are good at conceiving. I pray this baby is healthy more than anything in the world. That's the only thing that matters.

Soโ€ฆI ran downstairs, test hidden behind my back, tried to come up with a creative way to tell Dan, and instead, kneeled by the couch, giggled and blurted it out.

He was very happy. I'm very happy. Hopefully, Aidan will be  happy. And hopefully, our new baby will be happy and healthy.

Because he or she will be loved beyond reason.

โ€”from my pregnancy journal, just three months shy of nine years ago

I set the post time to the very minute he arrived, 8 short years ago.

Happy birthday, Coleman Asher. How lucky are we?

    How cool! Your Coleman and my Jackson are just 2 days apart. His due date: August 1, 1999. Day he arrived: on schedule. Heather woke up at 12:30 AM on that Sunday with contractions. We went in at 6:30 AM. 4:15 PM (after a c-section)was his official arrival. Happy Birthday Cole!

    Happy Birthday Cole!

    But I gotta say, man, you’re making me feel old. Two weeks after you were born, I graduated from college. That means, in the time since I’ve left college, someone has aged to the awesome age of EIGHT!

    Geesh.

    Have a great one!

    Happy Birthday to Cole. Great picture. Great story. And let’s admit it . . . great name! Coleman Asher must be destined for great things. Time flies when it comes to little (or not so little) ones!
