On Sunday, December 21st at 12:35pm, my daughter, Taylor Valentine Bridges was born. It's an amazing thing looking at her and knowing that she is a part of me. Part of what's so amazing about that is the fact that she's so beautiful - I'm not sure which part of me did that.
I can't say enough about Courtney. I am so proud of her. She did so amazingly well through the whole birth I can't even imagine what she was going through. It was extremely hard for me just being there and not being able to do much for her. I don't want anyone to think that I am putting them down for getting an epidural or that anyone is weak if they did - but the fact that she did it without any drugs at all just makes me so proud :) She has even already said that she would probably do it again the same way. She's incredible!
Our life has been turned upside down all of a sudden as any new parent knows. The lack of sleep so far the past week has taken its toll (especially for Courtney... for every lost hour of sleep for me she lost at least two) but we know this is the beginning of something wonderful in our lives. I will never ever forget the first time I held Taylor in my arms. I knew immediately that the rest of my life was going to seemingly go by in a flash. I can't wait to see it though... I can't wait to see her grow up.
