Tuesday, September 16, 2008, joins the short list of my favorite days. We welcomed William Christopher Jones to our family... just before midnight. William for all of the Williams on his dad's side of the family -- both Joneses and Lukes. Christopher for my brother -- his pal in heaven. We plan to call him Will, though his dad has been trying out "Wild Bill Jones." Don't worry baby, Mommy will protect you.
He is a Jones baby with sweet blonde peachfuzz and a big, round face. He got my hands and my sneezes. Atta boy.
I never want to forget:
1. How surprised I was that his face looked so much like his 20 week ultrasound
2. How familiar his movements felt on the outside
3. How surreal the whole thing was -- lights down, calm, peaceful even
4. How I was the one calling everyone back from their chat for each contraction
5. How his grandma volunteered to cut the cord
6. How the nurse put him on the measuring table & he lifted his head to look around7. How big the grin on Scott's face was as the two of them got acquainted
8. How grateful we are to have him here
