HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHASE!

We just hoped that the hurricane would bring him to us...and we were right! We arrived in PA on Wednesday because the birth mother started having contractions that we thought was the beginning of labor. We hopped on a plane, and when we got here....the contractions had stopped :-( Thursday we met with the birth mother, father, and her mother for lunch. It was wonderful!

Saturday after noon we began to get updates that her contractions had started again, and they were alot stronger and closer together......this was the night the hurricane was moving it's way across our area. We received updates all night long, and we went to the hospital at 8:30 Sunday morning. The birth mother was gracious enough to allow me to be in the delivery room with her which was the ultimate honor. She pushed for one hour, and at 11:37am on Sunday, August 28th....out poped our beautiful baby Chase! Luckily, up to this point, he is as healthy as can be...and extremely adorable! We have spent quite a bit of time with his "birth family" and we could have NEVER imagined this experience would be going this perfectly. We have formed such an incredible bond with this family, and we all really get along very well and plan to stay in contact. Chase is so lucky to have so many people who love him.

Chase is 7. 15oz and 19inches long....a little ball of perfection, made by God!
