Immediately after his birth, Derek called his mom who also lives next to us. She heard her grandson's cry and was here within minutes:) Letisha arrived just before she did.

That morning was precious. We did not cut his cord until the midwives arrived. I hadn't torn at all, despite his fast arrival. Since I was already in the bathroom, I was able to step right into the tub to clean up (I may try to plan it that way next time!). Then I slipped into my bed to get to know our new little one.

Eliana woke and met her new brother. She's loved him ever since:)

Letisha and Derek's mom were wonderful and I can never thank them enough for all their help! And Derek... well, I do believe he's the most amazing man in the whole world:) I am so blessed.

If I had the choice, I wouldn't change a thing about Garrett's birth. Then again... maybe next time I'll have Derek grab the video camera instead of the phone:)
