Augustus Robert Metcalf 9.12.14

My right hand girl, Maid of Honor, and forever my Best Friend.

Taylor and I have been inseparable for the past 10 years, we've been through school, weddings, and trials together and I can honestly say I don't know where I would be without her.

However, today was by far one of the most memorable experiences our friendship will ever have.

"Can you remember the first time you saw a sunrise? the first time your toes felt sand? the first time you tasted chocolate? Probably not; you were too young to remember. Five minuets before those experiences happened you were just cruising right along thinking life was great as is, but then you saw that stunning orange sunrise and you felt that warm sand between your toes and you tasted that delicious piece of chocolate and you jut knew, you knew life  just became infinitely better in every way because you experienced magic. Motherhood is kind of like that, only a million times better"

Many have tried, but honestly there isn't any way to explain it.

I had been waiting for "the text" from Tay letting me know that she was at the hospital for weeks! The morning of September 12th It finally came. Throughout the day I got frequent updates from Corbin. It had been a long day for the parents to be, I got to the hospital around 3:30pm when I arrived baby Metcalf was posterior so the waiting game continued, in hopes of him flipping on his own.

The nurse was in and out of the room several times before she advised to have a doctor come in and try and flip the baby out of the posterior position. Meanwhile, Tay, Corb and Suz (tays mom) went back and forth about names for the soon to be newest member of the family. They laughed and joked about a few until Tay turned to Corbin and said :

"Babe, you know were are going to have to be serious about this at some point."

Not long after, were we informed that baby Metcalf had flipped on his own and with Tay dilated to a 10 it was pushing time.

Tay did amazing! With Corbin and Suz on her sides for motivation and assistance, it wasn't more than an hour before baby  Metcalf made his appearance.

There is honestly nothing greater than seeing a mother hold her newborn for the first time.

Weighing in at 7lbs 13 oz and 20 inches long

Seriously who looks this beautiful after laboring for 12 hours?!

Those Lips!

Kisses from Grandma Suz

Congrats Tay and Corb!! I honestly couldn't be more happy and excited for you guys. I love you both so much! thank you for letting me be a part of this special day.
