Hi, I'm Milo

Well folks, as I'm sure you have all heard Jeff and I are finally, finally, finally parents!! Our crazy long journey is finally over. Our son Milo was born on April 21st at 2:07pm. Our wonderful birth mom Tiffany allowed us to be there every step of the way. She chose us last week and we were able to have a phone conference with her then, and we had a wonderful dinner with her monday night. She is a truly amazing woman. She and Jeff have so much in common, and we felt so comfortable from day one. She went in first thing Tuesday morning to be induced and we met her at the hospital around 10:00. She allowed us to be in the room with her all morning. She is seriously the toughest woman ever. She was like, No I probably won't get an epideral, but finally the pain got intense enough that she did. She went to sleep and about 2 hours later, Milo was born. She allowed me to feed him his first bottle, put on his first diaper, and hold him for the rest of the day. Then jeff and I went to the nursery with him to watch the nurse give him his first bath and do his little check up. It was a truly amazing day. On wednesday, Tiffany spent a very special day alone with Milo, and on Thursday morning we met again at the hospital to sign all the final paperwork. Watching Tiffany say goodbye to Milo was by far the hardest thing we have ever, ever had to go through. She was so strong. Jeff and I had a very hard time and there were a lot of conflicting emotions, but in the end it was a very beautiful day. We are so grateful to Tiffany for giving us a chance to be parents. We will never forget her or this amazing week.

Me, Tiffany (our beautiful birth mom, Milo, and Jeff)
