Tate's Arrival

Forest Tate Reid was born at around 2 a.m. this morning! She went into labor yesterday afternoon. So we just knew he would be a Cinco de Mayo baby (5/5), which is also Casey and Derek's wedding anniversary!! BUT he arrived on May 6th weighing 7 lbs exactly and is over 21 inches long. Tall boy!

Casey did an amazing job in delivery, and she was so calm and strong.  However, little Tate is still in the unit because he still needs some help breathing on his own :( :(  In other words, we haven't been able to get our hands on this little angel!!

Oh my word! He is so handsome.

We can't wait to attack these cheeks!

Here is Casey around midnight last night doing great!

We are praying that Tate gets out of the unit soon,  hopefully tomorrow. Casey has been so strong and calm about not being able to hold him, but I know she can't stand it!  We are praying for her and Derek as well.

When I mentioned in the last post that we had a fun, busy weekend planned, this wasn't what I was referring to ;) But isn't God's timing amazing!
