Meet Edwin

The most thoughtful gesture during my delivery was when my OB told everyone in the room, "Since they don't know the baby's gender, let's have Dad tell mom what it is."
That detail meant so much to us--and she let us share it. Thanks, Dr. P!

Nathan and I both preferred a boy this time, but didn't realize just how much until he was born.
(We are both pleased Andrew has a brother).

When we called my mom to tell her the baby had arrived, we didn't tell her the gender until she got to the hospital. She picked up Andrew and Bryn from school, and had been home with Caitlin and Diana.

When they walked in, I said, "Andrew, do you want to be the first to hold your new BROTHER?"

I love the moment when siblings meet. It is quiet, loving, and feels like sacred ground.

 

Edwin means "wealthy friend." I call him Ed.

"True wealth is really the love of our families, the confidence of friends and neighbors, and faith in God.
The poorest Saint in the Church who possesses loved ones and is following the Savior's path is incomparably more wealthy than the one who has untold wealth."            Joseph F. Smith
