On October 18, 2012, we welcomed Catherine Elise Geach into the world!
Dear Catherine,
It was a cool morning when daddy and I walked into Erlenger East that day. I had my overnight bag, baby bag...all was ready. We had big smiles on our faces because we knew we were going to see you soon.
Daddy offered to carry the bags and that's when I noticed that the camera bag was missing. I thought he forgot it in the car, but it turns out, with all the excitement, he forgot it at home. Since there was a lot of time left, I told him to go back and get it. So I went into the lobby with the bags and checked in by myself. A nurse later came and started escorting me to the room. On the way there, she turns to me and asks, "Honey, is someone going to be with you today?" I thought it was hilarious...and really wanted to play along ...but I didn't. I was so happy to see your daddy come in a few minutes later. I can't imagine how sad it would be to welcome a new baby all by myself. You have a wonderful daddy who couldn't wait to meet you!
So we finally met you at ----- You were 7 lbs, 7 oz. You looked as cute as a button. When I held you in my arms it was the most wonderful feeling. It's amazing how you can love someone you've only just met so much!
We were completely in love with you!
We later had all the grandparents over to see you. We skyped with your aunts! Friends came over...Everyone was so excited you were here...especially Jordan!
When you first met he just got really close, kind of grabbed you and gave you a big kiss. I know you are going to be great friends for ever.
You are such a good baby.
Dr. Newman was our doctor and she did a fabulous job with the delivery. Mommy quickly recovered and we took you home as soon as we could. These are some of the first pictures we took of you at home.
We only stayed home for just a few days and then we took you on your first airplane ride to Lake Tahoe, where auntie Angeles was getting married. You got to meet more family there...and like always, everyone was in love with you!
We've been home now for a couple of weeks after traveling. It's so nice to get to know you. You are so sweet, soft and cuddly.
You love to sleep with us and cuddle. You always fall asleep on my chest...it's so nice!
We love you baby Catherine! We can't wait to see the person you will become. We are so happy to be your parents!
