aunt slash babydaddy.

kristian terrance breen was born at 5:44 p.m. on 1.12.08.  
7 lbs 15.2 ounces.
a beautiful healthy baby.
with a strong incredible mother.


last night... me and kiley went to her restaurant of choice for her "last meal"...
el super taco off royal and harry hines is where we ended up.
one of those genuine mexican food restaurants where you actually have to order in spanish and where they sell perfume at the register (still not sure...).

we drove around afterwards, having our usual fun... 
then, "where are we going?"  
'oh yea... the baby.'
so off to the hospital we went.

we checked in
and got settled.
they started the iv and plugged her up to the monitor
and the inducing began.

i stayed most the night... then crashed at a friend's nearby in oak cliff.
i came this morning... she was progressing slowly... more contractions... more dilation... 
details spared.

later...
water broke (although we didnt even know, because of the epidural).
and finally, time to push.
i stepped out... and the doc came out about 45 minutes later
and i came back in the room to my girl with her child in her arms...
i'm still freaked out by the whole miracle of it all.

i got to hold kristian briefly before they had to take him.
one of the most beautiful experiences of my life...
finally holding the child i prayed everyday for since conception basically.
kiley's mom tells him that i'm 'aunt meghan'.
kiley tells him that i'm her babydaddy.

i'm honored to simply play a roll in the life of this precious child.
i will do anything for this boy and his mom.

to the strongest mother i know...
kiley, you are a champ.
