The First 30 Days
Ashley and I have had our little bundle of joy for 30 days now. That’s it, there’s no going back. We’ve passed the return date. And why would we return him? He’s awesome! But I think people call babies “bundles of joy” because they come bundled with other things such as anger, tears, and poops. But the overall package has been exactly what we hoped for.

Dear Womb...
Yesterday as I was cleaning up around the house (okay now you know I’m making this up) I found a piece of paper with the following letter written on it.
Dear Womb,
How are you doing? It’s been 17 days since we were last together. I miss you. Don’t get me wrong, I love it out here, for the most part. But it’s not quite the same without you. First of all it’s a lot...

Beautiful Photos by Bev Hawley from...
Ashley, Chandler, and I had the pleasure of having a friend of ours, Bev Hawley, come to our house and do a photo shoot with Chandler. Her work is absolutely amazing. She did an incredible job of capturing both our natural spirits and also creating some inspirational images.
The entire process was completely painless and actually a lot of fun. It really kind of beats the whole Walmart family...

Labor of Love
There is something infinitely difficult about watching your most loved one go through intense pain for hours on end and to know that not only is there nothing you can do to help, but this is what she is supposed to be going through in order to accomplish our goal. It just doesn’t seem fair. I kept wanting to tag in and take the pain for her. But I couldn’t. And now that it is all over,...
