Mommy and Daddy had a long labor of 14 hours but were so happy to see that sweet face and hear those first cries!! Mommy was full of emotions and almost let herself be a crazy lady - but the nurse, Krista talked her down and daddy never left her side and kept praising her. After only 30 minutes of pushing we saw our sweet miracle of God for the first time. WOW, what a flood of emotions!!!
Shortly after birth - Nana, Mimi and Papa Lee came to meet you and they feel in love instantly. No one could believe you were here and were SO handsome!
These are a few of the pictures from the hospital stay:
Heading home:
Your first night getting ready for bed:
Poor baby has jaundice and we had to get you a bilirubin blanket for you to sleep on ;( Mommy cried and was so worried about you. Daddy said you looked like a little fancy buzz light year, we all laughed!
Nana wrote mommy a sweet note later the night you were born:
Congratulations to you and Cody! So proud of you and what a handsome son you two have made. GOD has truly BLESSED us with perfect babies:) As I watched you today, the strength that you showed and the woman that you have become I am so proud to be your mother:) Love you!
Daddy wrote the sweetest note to you and mommy still cries every time she reads it:
A vow & prayer to my son…
Little did I know, on the day I spoke these words, that almost 4 years later I would find those same words to hold so true for you. As I said to your mother, with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face, I say these words to you now in front of God, family, and friends.
I take you, Kingston Lake Berry, to be my son, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish ‘till death do us part…
May the guiding hand of God hold you in his palm; May he give you the strength to endure life’s most precious and virtuous trials that lay ahead.
With all of the love in my heart, you will forever be my son, my life, my all…
To the moon and back,
Dad

Daddy's thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers:
To all of our Frienamily (french for friends & family),
Jaclyn and I are so blessed to have you all immersed in our lives can't wait for Kingston to know you as we do. And I know to the dismay of many, we just couldn't pull the trigger on naming him Blue Ivy, as did our close friends Jay Z & Beyonce. We teetered on Green Ivy, after Wrigley Field. Though, the little hulk that he is, he just wasn't green enough ;)
Mama & Kingston are doing fantastic! We are getting ready to pack it up and introduce the little BoSox to Big Papi's pad! Beware of his eyes ladies...they are pure seduction! Of course he obtained those from his mother.... but, the moves, he gets from his daddy...Stay tuned for the "Mini Me Booty Roll!"
We love you all!!
Thank you for your well wishes, love, and support!
