Hello, my love.
You’re here.
You’re perfect.
I stare at your handsome little face, totally in love, and remember crying for months on end because I thought this day would not come. The fertility issues. Bad news, some hopeful news and then the surprise that brought us here. It reminds me of the Looney Tunes episode where Wile E. Coyote finally catches the Road-Runner. After years and years of frantically pursuing a dream (or, in the coyote’s case, a tasty snack) you finally catch up with the idea of what you’ve always wanted…and then hold up a “Now what do I do?” sign.
I’m at a loss of where to go from here,
Other than to just snuggle and breathe you in.
I am so thankful that I was able to be pregnant again.
I am so thankful that you are in my arms
…and healthy.
For now, the world is perfect.
Happy birthday Griff.
I love you.
Thank you everyone!!! Sarah: The 5th was just when I was finally able to post. =)
Was he born on the 5th? or is that just when you were able to post? If so, its a great day. My birthday as well. I am so glad everything went well for your now bigger family. He is precious. And I LOVE the name!
And… I’m crying. I’m so so happy for you and your beautiful family, Kate!
Congratulations to the Crafton’s and your new addition. He is just precious. Such a blessing.
Ahhhhhh!!! Could not be more thrilled for you all. Hope you’re enjoying every moment.

Kate, he’s absolutely gorgeous. TLC is finally here! It’s “mommy posts” like these that make me look forward to having a little bundle one day…I’ll take him/her to Seaside for sure. =) Congratulations!
I’m so insanely happy for you, Randy and the kids on welcoming little Griff into the world! He is absolutely precious and we can’t wait to meet him!!
So, so sweet. It took me a little over 2 years to conceive my ds, and I know what a feeling of relief it is to finally hold him. Hope the older 2 are adapting, and that you are taking good care of yourself as well, resting and eating well. Continued blessings to your family!

Just wanted to say congratulations!! Don’t know if you remember me, from Mt.Carmel, but I love your work and have followed your art for a while now, but none compares to these, because I know you have waited a while for this, and I wanted you to know how happy I am for you. He is adorable!!!
