Durant is here
Today at 4:30pm I got to meet Durant for the first time ever. It was the end of nap time, but he was still sleeping. They told me to just pick him up. So I did! He is so beautiful and super tiny. When he woke up, he didn't cry. He was a little hesitant, but he handled it well. By the time we left, he was laughing and feeling good. So it went really really well. It's such an amazing experience seeing your child for the first time. Their are no words to describe it.
Tonight has gone well. We got him some food which was so cute to watch him eat. We got him spaghetti cause that's what they said he liked. But when the meal came, all he did was rip tiny pieces of a bun off and dipped it in the sauce. Then he wanted my sandwich, but all he wanted was the bread so he could dip it! It was too cute!
He really likes to play with the cars I brought and he ate up all the cheerios right away. He can say Mama and Dada and throw a ball really well.
Thanks everyone for your prayers. It has gone really well.
