I don't even know where to begin with this post.
First of all, I am so grateful to Tara and Brent for allowing me to be a part of such a special event in each of their lives. When we first met over coffee to discuss birth and newborn pictures, we were literally at Starbucks for nearly two hours. They are just genuinely fun, funny people...the kind of people I could see myself drinking beer with on Sundays.
Tara was due September 1, and I was leaving for a five-day trip on the 6th. I was wishing and hoping that she would go into labor by the 4th, just in case.
Well, she didn't.
So then I was wishing and hoping that she would hold baby Kellen in until the day after I returned.
Thankfully, she obliged. ;)
At 1am, Tara began feeling contractions, and by 3am, she was waking up her husband. Then, in what I think is the best part of the story, they sat down together and watched Good Morning, Vietnam before heading to the hospital. Lol.
It really doesn't get any better.
I arrived at the hospital when Tara was about 6cm dilated. The nurses were certain that she would have a baby before dinnertime; however, Kellen had other plans. With too large of a head to come out naturally, baby Kellen ended up being delivered via C-Section.
After over 24 hours of labor, Tara and Brent finally got to meet their handsome little angel.

Welcome to the world, handsome man.
And congratulations to you, Tara and Brent!

Tara - it's somewhat ridiculous how beautiful you look after all that and with no make up! stunning pics.
Oh my gosh, I was crying so hard by just halfway through the post! What a beautiful record of the arrival of Kellen. I can't wait to meet him!!!
