Dear Everyone:
I'd like to introduce you to Tegan Oliver Connell - born January 29, 2010 at 11:56 am. He weighed in at 6 lbs. 11 oz. and measured 20 inches. We are so grateful he is here and that everything turned out so well. We want to thank all our friends and family for their love, support and prayers. Love ... Steve, Krista, Ethan, and Oliver
There really isn't any way to describe my feelings. I can say my joy is full - utterly. It is beautiful to hear the cries of a newborn, especially after you've heard the silence of a stillborn. At that moment, I felt God's complete presence in my life and I thank Him.
Tegan looks a lot like Ethan did - but a fairer version of him. Pretty amazing ... the kid has blond hair!! Never thought that would happen!
Seriously the best dad in the world.
World's best big brother right here! Aside from the fact the first thing he said when he saw Tegan was, "I want to watch a show," Ethan is doing (adjusting) really well.
Happy family.
Can't believe how small they are!
Home from the hospital.
A few days old and sleeping. So Tegan sleeps really well. He is actually more content asleep than awake. When he's awake he moves his arms in slow, fluid movements - almost like he's leading music. He really hasn't opened his eyes too much. Again, he loves to sleep. He also loves to be held and cuddled.
Grammie Lou came up to help and we're so grateful. Grandma Eileen and Grandpa Larry also came and I can't believe I didn't get a picture! Thanks to wonderful grandparents.
After Tegan's first bath at home. He seemed to kind of like it!
Life at home. Love it when Ethan wants to hold Tegan or yells, "Goodnight Tegan" at the top of his lungs as he is running upstairs to go to bed.
I love being a mom of three boys, just wish Oliver could be here too.
