that widens and deepens my love for my husband.
Devin saved me. He was up and organizing everything in the middle of the night while I was breathing through contractions. He shoveled through thigh-deep snow to create a pathway for us to walk. He had already cleaned off the car the night before to prepare for whatever may come. He helped me communicate to the triage nurse...and then as labor progressed ever so quickly, he calmly demanded that we get going! He coordinated with our neighbor to come over to be with Hugh and packed a bag of clothes, a few presents, and necessities that hugh might need.
He used his mad-driving skillz to maneuver through the snowy, (not yet plowed) streets and arrive safely & timely to the hospital.
He had to negotiate with a clueless snow blower man for a wheelchair and finally ended up calling the hospital to get a wheelchair downstairs ASAP. He instructed the security officer to get me to labor & delivery NOW.... because they insisted that he go park the car. He arrived to be by my side and encourage me through the 2 pushes before baby was born.
He took care of hugh while i was in the hospital and has been super dad now that I have come home. I could never do this without him!
I guess God's plan in sending a sweet little angel baby to our family is working to bind us all closer together.

Congrats!! She is beautiful! I love what you said about Devin. Sometimes the husbands are forgotten through all of this. I can't believe all that snow! I have to say, I don't miss the snow that much..but I did a little bit on Christmas day.
