baby grace arrives


wow. what an experience this was for me. i am so lucky to have such amazing friends that are willing to allow me to be a part of such an important day. thank you to the cox family.

i arrived at the hospital about an hour before the scheduled c-section. we relaxed and prepared for the exciting morning.

then it was time. eric and scrubbed up while sarah headed into the o.r. for her spinal. grace2
