Welcome to the world, Colin

I am overjoyed right now as we welcomed our newborn son, Colin to the world at 1:30am today. The last 32 hours have been an emotional and mental roller coaster for Sophia and I.

Sophia’s water broke at 4:30am on Monday morning. We had no major signs that he was coming so soon and thought we had another week or two. But that’s not how life works. Thankfully we had everything packed and ready to go and we were admitted to the hospital quickly.

The labor was eventful, but largely according to plan without any major complications. The birthing process is a crazy experience and my wife is a true warrior. I’m not sure if I could have handled that experience the way Sophia handled it.

I spent most of last night and the early morning feeling well a bit weird. It was surreal and almost like a dream that I had a baby son. I think both Sophia and I are in a bit of a daze right now. One thing is for certain though and that’s how much in love with Colin I am. Childbirth is a miracle and I am beyond excited to be a father.
