My Cup Runneth Over

June 12, 2007 ·

Now that we are a couple days since the birth of Cole, things have slowed down just a little. I’ve had a lot of emails asking for some photos, so here comes the obligatory newborn photo. I haven’t even unloaded my camera yet, but this one was taken by Grandpa Dale.

I know my sisters want to see the little guy in action so I’ve created a short clip too. There’s only a quick second on Candace to show everyone that she is still in good spirits and recovering well. The movie is here.

Speaking of Candace, if I could say one thing. What an amazing thing to watch a woman assume her role of motherhood. Everything I love about Candace has been multiplied and magnified in these last couple days. Cole could be the luckiest son on earth.

Cole is strong. The nurses are surprised at how he can move his head around so freely and react to voices in under a day. Maybe they say that to everyone, but it doesn’t matter. It’s having the intended affect. Of course we’re happy to see that. It means we have a healthy boy. It also means that he is well on his way to slipping into his role as the Red Sox clean up hitter. (Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to him at length about this call of duty.)

Thanks so much for the support from everyone.

I remember when i first got to see my son. He was being weighed but grabbed onto the side of the scale so hard as if he was trying to pull himself over towards me. I knew without a doubt the unconditional love people talk about. Then 2hrs later (c-section and other drama - good story for another day) when my wife finally got to see him I was amazed at my family and how perfect and eternal we were - not individually but collectively. I always tell my wife that I feel bad for other couples because they can’t even begin to comprehend the love that i have for her and you’re the first one that i think has even come close.
Congrats, and I hope you enjoy the ride, cause its just beginning.

I would like to say that Cole is also very lucky to have the father he does. It touches me to see you throw yourself in the role of his parent. I love it.
