My Short Life as a Father….(So Far)
2008, October 17Well first of all I would like to say thanks for all the people that were at the hospital Friday to see Kailey…and also to those that came to see Heather and I as well. This week has been a stressful one, not because of the learning experience that me and my wife are going through but because of a few health problems that have now been taken care of with the help of a few minor medications, and some Karo syrup all is well again in the Walters’ home.
Last Friday morning I was awaken by Heather at about 3:30am or so and she said that she was having contractions and showed me the times she written down and i noticed that they had steadily gotten closer and closer from the time she started writing about at 2am till the current time and they were between 3 and 8 min apart so waited until about 5am and she called her mom and my mom and told here we were getting ready to go to the hospital we left about 5am and about 5:30 we were at the hospital and in a room. After many Dr. visits and things I don’t believe some of you want to hear about at 1:17pm our baby girl Kailey Marie came into this world and I cried my eyes out I could not believe that we had made such a beautiful thing. I want to thank my mom and Heather’s mom for being there with me and Heather I couldn’t have shared it with any two other people that mean more to us than them.
here is the first pic that was taken of Kailey…
I don’t think Liz or myself could be any more proud of you two. You both did a great job on Friday and Kailey is so beautiful. Having a baby is one of the most amazing experiences you can ever have in life. I could try to explain it all day, but you never fully know until you go through it yourself. You asked me a couple of weeks ago how I could remember everything about your birth. I think you know the answer to that question now that you have gone through the birth of your child.
You will go through many emotions now that you are a daddy. Enjoy every minute of it.
I love you Brian. You are going to be a great daddy. I am so proud of you.
I also am very proud of you. It seems like yesterday that you were lying in a crib and we were looking at you. Many years of ups and downs have passed and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. You have grown to be a very loving,caring young man.You not only have chosen your soul mate but you have shared with her and brought into this world, a beautiful daughter. Both of you have a life time, long or short,to raise Kailey as a very smart, happy, beautiful, loving,and caring lady. God has truly blessed you both. Take every moment and cherish it.
