Yesterday at 10:33 God blessed Heather and me with a perfect baby boy- Jones Edward Skaggs. It is truly amazing at the amount of joy Jones brought along with him- parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nurses- all have been given a piece of this happiness. We cannot help but to walk these halls with a perpetual glow.
We've been awestruck for 9 months, but as of yesterday that feeling was taken to a higher place. Any and all parents will tell the newly expecting couple that "everything changes" in that moment- the moment you lay eyes upon the very thing you've desired for so long. And now, with roughly 24 hours of fatherhood under my belt, everything has changed- I will forever look at my wonderful, strong wife with a newfound respect, I will try and be the best, most selfless dad in the world and I will constantly pray for his future- a life full of God's love, family dinners, storytime, and puppy dog tails.
God is so Good-
