Jaxton!!!

A big event in our life happened this weekend!! We adopted a beautiful and sweet little boy!! Jaxton Fisher was born on Thursday Sept 10, 2009 at 5:22 pm. He was 7 lb 5.8 oz and was 20 inches long. After a rough delivery he recovered very quickly and has been great ever since. We signed papers on Friday Sept 11 at 6:00 pm, and he officially became ours. We were able to bring him home Saturday afternoon. We have been cuddling and kissing and hugging him ever since.
We are so grateful and feel very blessed to have him and his birth mom in our lives. Monesha (his birth mom) is truly an amazing, strong and loving person. We have truly enjoyed spending the last few days with her. She gave us the most wonderful and amazing gift, and we will always love her for this and will always be eternally indebt to her.

Gary, Monesha and myself! This is right after delivery! Monesha was such a trooper and was laughing minutes after, she recovered so quickly! We will always love her!!
Day #2
Gary is so cute with Jaxton!! He is going to be a great dad! He was quite the baby hogger in the hospital and would hold him for hours.

What a sweet baby!!

We are so excited to be blessed with this sweet little baby!! We are eternally grateful to have him in our lives and are excited to see him grow!!
Day #3 (Going Home/Saying our Goodbyes)
Our final day at the hospital was a day of many emotions. We were excited to take him home to meet our families and be able to have him to ourselves, yet we were sad to say goodbye to Monesha. We are so happy she has decided to have contact and we will definitely keep in touch with letters and pictures as our little boy grows.

Our sweet baby!!
