Well exactly one week ago today we were over at Blake and Alli's house watching the Aggies beat Alabama...little did we know that just a few hours later Charlie Hatch would make his debut! He was obviously so excited about the big win that he just had to come join the party :)
We left their house at 8:45pm Saturday night and I woke up to this
photo on my phone Sunday morning...
Excuse me, what?!
That was pretty much my reaction when I looked at my phone. I literally jumped out of bed
and ran into the living room to show John Paul the picture. We were totally shocked! Alli had been put on bed rest with contractions a few days earlier but they had slowed down and who knew this would all happen so fast?! She had texted me at midnight that they were going to the hospital but being the excellent sleeper that I am I slept right through it. Way to go, Katie :)
All that to say, we are SO EXCITED that Charlie Hatch is here! He is the cutest little love bug! And he is doing so great in the NICU! All of his nurses are amazed. Thank you, Lord, for a strong, healthy and growing baby boy!
I mean, how sweet is he?! We love you, buddy! And we love his amazing parents too! Alli and Blake are displaying the most wonderful trust and faith in our great God and have such an amazing perspective. I'm so proud of and amazed by the way they desire to love on and be a light to those around them at the hospital. They know that the Lord has great purpose in their time there and that sweet Charlie Hatch is in His hands. How blessed we are to have such a loving Father that is our hope in all circumstances. Join us in praying for them and their remaining time in the NICU!
