My best friend Stephanie welcomed her baby boy into the world on Saturday and I was there to be apart of it (sort of). Steph went in the night before her scheduled induction to help move things along. I went to Khobar (the city where the hospital is located, an hour and half away from us) that morning and ran a few errands and went to pick up Micah (Steph's husband) and the moms some lunch. Within an hours time, Steph progressed extremely quickly. By the time I arrived with lunch, the doctor was walking in the door... it was time!
I quickly ran out the room and stood outside with my head pressed to the wall... waiting! I was so excited and anxious and nervous.... I LOVED hearing the moment when Jacob Asher Sperling arrived! What a sweet and fun time!! I was able to meet him 30 minutes later and what an emotional moment that was. I started crying and couldn't stop! I was so happy to finally meet the little guy and for Micah and Stephanie to have their baby boy! He is PRECIOUS!!!
When I went and got lunch for them, Stephanie wasn't "suppose" to have Jacob for another 3-4 hours, so I hadn't picked up food for her. Right when I left McDonalds was when Micah texted me she was about to start pushing so I left my food for her-- figured she'd need it more then me!! I think she was grateful!!
Think this is my favorite picture of the new family!!!!
Stephanie was discharged the next day, when Brooks and Gavin and I had planned on going to the hospital to visit and let them meet Jacob, instead, they went and saw him at their house that evening. I stayed home with Miles who had a 24 hour bug the day before and we didn't want to risk him giving it to anyone in the Sperling household! Gavin was beside himself so excited to meet Jacob and thought he was cool!
Brooks was excited to meet his future son-in-law =). (Hey, I can hope, right?!!?)
Congrats Micah and Stephanie! We love you guys and are so excited for you to be starting this new journey in your lives!! So glad to have been apart of this with y'all!
