K,
Today, was the first day I got to meet/hold you and it was every thing I had hoped it would be(and more). After a very long day yesterday and a very short night I knew I would need extra energy so I started the day off with a good breakfast (I never eat breakfast and your mom yells at me).......And then it was time to meet you.
As Wass was driving to us to HH all of these thoughts and feeling were pouring through my head and when we were pulling through the gates I was ready to jump out. As we waited in the court yard I saw you in the window with your special mother and she brought you out to us and of course you went straight to your mom. Then all of a sudden you opened up and you cried and cried and cried. Your mom will say you only cried for only 30 to 45 minutes-----I think it was more in hours. We tried everything. Since I have no fathering experience the panic sunk in. I didn't know how I was going to do this.
Then we started walking around and as we walked I got the bright idea to sing to you what makes me happy---Chelsea Dagger-----you stopped!!!!!!!!!!!!! You would still give out little cries but you calmed down quite a bit--my son. :) Then we were told it was your nap time (no wonder you were so fussy). As your special mothers got you ready for your name they changed your diaper (again panic hit- you had a blow-out and I missed it) and put you in a Jordan outfit--again my boy!!!
For a special treat we were told we would get to come back to HH after lunch around 2:30. As we waited for Wass again panic started to hit again, thinking back to all of the crying, finding out that I hadn't been pronouncing your name correctly, and missing the diaper blowout--am I ready for this. As soon as we got to HH we were told we could go see you in your room. As we opened up the door to your room you were laying on your back wearing the bib we had brought for you and looking very content. You let us hold you, you let us sing we you, and you let us dance with you!!!!!! I had so much fun I couldn't believe it when Wass said it was time to go(it seemed like we had just gotten there). You had made me realize K---I can do this.
Love,
Dad

You are a great dad Luc! After all the girls love their uncle Luc and Ali especially can be a tough nut to crack! Love your post!
oh Luc - I've got tears streaming down my face. I am so happy for your sweet little fam! (secretly wishing you would have been holding him during the blow-out - ha!)
Very sweet and honest. Craig can empathize with the diaper blow-outs, just ask him some time. :) You are a great dad, as Kara is a great mom. Craig says he'll be on stand-by for any questions you might have.
Love, Jennie
