Rex,
You are one stubborn little fella. I rushed to the hospital on Thursday night to walk into a room with my sister calmly sitting on a chair and hanging out. She was the epitome of beauty and ease. Even when she would be having contractions, your mom was the picture of grace. She would grip on the sides of her chair and draw in her face, but a few seconds later be back. I can only pray that when your future cousin comes, your auntie is like that.
You were still cozy after the evening had worn on. Grammy and I decided to go get some sleep at my friend's apartment. Both of us were up at 5:30 ready to go see if any progress had been made. Your mom and dad were very tired, but had gotten a little bit of rest. Throughout the morning, your mom progressed and was eventually able to start pushing.
I had actually gone out for some lunch with Angie and Katy, but as we were pulling out, I got the best text ever from your Grammy! "We have a boy!!!" I was officially on cloud nine.
On Friday, June 21st, 2013, at 11:47 am, all 8 pounds and 11 ounces of you was welcomed into the world. I was thrilled!!! Thaddeus Rex Stephens had officially entered the world.
Rex, holding you for the first time made my heart melt. You are such a stunningly beautiful baby. I was in awe of your perfect nose and pouty mouth (that is definitely from your mom). You have long fingers, courtesy of both your parents. You already are the apple of everyone's eyes. We love you so much.
All my Love,
Auntie Coley
They say that a baby changes everything. It does. It makes your heart bigger, your hugs warmer, and life just little sweeter. I can't wait to spoil and visit my little nephew! He's pretty awesome!
