After joyfully and tearfully sharing the news of Reese's arrival into the world with my mom, dad, brother and sister, I sent text message to four different sets of my closest people. This is what I said:
"He's here! 9 lbs. 3 ounces and the cutest freaking thing ever. Life is beautiful"
"Our boy has arrived!! Reese Francis Jefferson. Long day, giant head. Best thing ever. Everyone is great. Much love"
"Our boy is here. Reese Francis Jefferson. Long day. Could not possibly be any happier. Everyone is great. All the love"
"He is here! Reese Francis Jefferson. So amazing! Everyone is fantastic!"
And this is what they said:
"Dece! Congrats guys. You all rule. Can't wait to meet the new fam!"
"Congratulations Adam. This is most excellent news and a joy you both deserve enormously. Beautiful name, thanks for the update. Love you guys"
"I love him already. Not gonna lie that picture choked me up quite a bit."
"Congrats, love you guys...I was passed out last night"
"OMG he is perfect!!!
"Congratulations! So happy for you guys! Love the name!"
"Oh! So awesome! Love the name! So freaking happy for all three of you! Love!"
"Love it! So incredibly happy for you guys! Reese, great name! Lots of love to you guys! And it's about time! Another hug to Kelly please. Can't wait to to hear the story of his arrival."
"Congrats! Give him a kiss for me! Hope Kelly is resting! Can't wait to meet him!"
"YAY!! Love the name! Reese! Congratulations! All go ok? Send pics if you have the energy!!
"Awwww he is perfect!!"
"Yes! Amazing and congratulations! I wish you all health and happiness. Jefferson clan continues its expansion!"
In my mind, through all the love and warmth that came shining through in those responses, I kept thinking the same thing:
Just wait until you meet him.
