After waiting impatiently for 9 months we were happy to welcome our new nephew to the world on Saturday morning at 9:26am.
Since my family is in the Seattle area we were unsure if we were even going to be able to make it to the hospital for the big event. Thankfully Declan decided to wait until Saturday morning to make his big arrival.
We recieved the call from Megan, my younger sister, at 3:00am that Jennifer was in labor and already settling into the hospital. After taking showers and packing some clothes we hit the road. Thanks to the early hour, there was no one on the road or at the border and we made record time getting there, 2 1/2 hours. Which only involved a little bit of speeding.
Sean and I are just so lucky to be an aunt and uncle to such wonderful kids. Samantha is growing up before our eyes it just doesn’t seem like she is old enough to be in middle school next year. Finley is such an active 2 year old exploring the world and getting so big between each of our visits to Seattle. We are so excited about the addition of Declan and look forward to our visit again this weekend to have more time with him.
