As of 7:16 this morning, Aurora was admitted to the hopsital and looks to be going into labor. As Christian said - "Thudercats are go!"
AJ and I went and picked up the tired new daddy from the hospital to bring him home for some rest. Both of their families came into town for the event and are looking in on the hospital. The baby is beautiful and so sweet! He barely cried while we were there. Aurora and Jonathan get to come home monday :)
He was born crying like any other
And I thought to sing to calm him
But when I held him for the first time
I found myself speechless
There was nothing I could do or say
That could come close to the beauty I found in this moment
In this child
Jonathan Patrick Murphy was born on 9:15 am August 11th after roughly 24 hours of labor both active and "inactive" and mercifully only 37 minutes of pushing. He is happy, healthy and 7 lbs 7oz. He didn't cry near as much as i thought he would and responded to Batman (Long story) And though i badly want to see how well he would recieve it, everytime i try i get choked up cry and can barely speak.
Everyone says that you will never know what it is to feel unconditional love until you bring a child in this world. I underestimated what that meant...he has my eyes and it seems already that he has my sense of humor as when i held him for the first time after calming down he looked right at me and blew a rassberry at me.
No one has put it better than Blisdin, A new story begins. My story, Aurora's story, Jonathan's story, And above all else the continuation of a old clan of proud Irish fools
