Around 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday (23rd), we got this picture in a text from Laurin.
What?! She was in the hospital ready to deliver her firstborn...two weeks early! We were so surprised (although probably not as surprised as she was). Carter Liam Irons came into this world at 6:00 a.m. on Christmas Eve! Jeff and I hardly slept at all that night. We kept listening for our phones to alert us of his arrival. There was so much excitement and anticipation. What a year it's been for Laurin! She was married in January and became a mom in December. This will be, by far, the greatest Christmas surprise for all of us...and what a beautiful reminder of what must have occurred on the first Christmas centuries ago. It was amazing how instant our love was once we saw the pictures and were able to FaceTime with Laurin later on in the day. Welcome to the world little Carter! We are so excited to meet you!
