There Are No Words....

.....to describe what we are feeling and what we have felt over the last four days. We will always be eternally grateful to our gorgeous birthmom for this awesome gift that she has given us. Thank you is not enough. How do you thank someone for making our dream come true? Any suggestions? That's what I thought. We think of our birth mom all the time. And, again, there are no words. As I sit here crying typing this, Brad is on the couch cuddling with our Grady Bear just staring at him. We do this all the time. Stupid Bill O'Reilly is on the TV too and Brad's not even paying attention...AMAZING!!! It is because of our Rachel that he is able to do this. So, without further ado...look how DAMN cute he is!! Rachel grows very cute babies!!!
I took this picture of Brad snuggling with him early in the morning. Both of them were snoring. My heart is beyond full, it is overflowing.
This next one is Grady holding on for dear life to my hand while he was snoozing. He'd put it up to his cheek and freak the hell out if I tried to move. I know he's not the only newborn on earth to do that, but he's my only newborn.
And, before anyone asks...no you don't get any pics of myself and Grady...in every picture I look like a pile of doo. It'll happen someday...maybe.

I'm all teary and wishin' I could come see you guys and meet the new little fella. I know...everyone else does too. Take advantage of any time you have with just the three of you. He is adorable! I know it doesn't make any sense, but to me, he kinda looks like Eric as a newborn.....the hairline and haircolor I think. Little Grady is truly one of the most precious gifts our family (the Pittons & McMorrows) has ever received. We are grateful every day.

Okay, so I want to burst into tears when I see the photo of him all snuggled with his daddy. And to think of what it would look like to see him ignore the tv just to stare at his baby boy...the flood gates are about to burst! I've said it before and I'll probably say it about a million more times...I so wish we lived closer! He is adorable!!!! And I BETTER start seeing some photos of you with him!

Geez, I'm with everyone else and can't stop the tears. Your baby is GORGEOUS!!! So handsome. I'm looking at the one of him holding your hand and I can't believe it. He is such a lucky baby and I can tell you are going to have the best time with him. Grady is such a cute name! Floyd is my favorite. I can imagine how much fun he'll have with Brad and how many kisses he'll get from you! I can't wait to see you guys... tap tap Grady when you get here! Love you and am beyond happy for you. I've been telling everyone I see and a few don't have a clue who you are =)

Ok, so it might be scarey...but I found you (actually through Kim's blog). I just wanted to say Congrats. Kayley-Pop has been keeping me posted all along, so I couldnt be happier for you guys. And from this last post, I would even venture to say that this little nugget of yours is showing a softer side to the Holly I remember!
Have fun...get your sleep in NOW!
Love, Sara
