He's Here! He's Here! He's Here!




Nolan Shawn Thiel joined our family on Friday, October 17th, 2008, at 7:45 in the morning. He weighed in at 8 lbs, 5 oz, and was 21 inches long (though I swear he is growing by the minute!). I may be slightly biased, but he is the most perfect baby in the world.


I can't believe how much more I love him every day. My heart breaks every time I look at him, knowing that Shawn and I had such a miracle happen in our lives. He is absolutely beautiful, and he is changing every day. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings, and the day after, and next week...


Our families have been such a wonderful support for us. We are truly the luckiest family in the world, not only because of our precious gift from God, but because we are blessed with the most amazing and loving family and friends. Thank you all for everything you have done (and are doing every day) for us - we appreciate it more than we can say!


Oh - here's a picture of Nolan's "birth day" cake. We had a great celebration at the hospital on Friday!
