Keith and I departed for Baltimore on Tuesday, September 30, and arrived in Baltimore just after Brooke was born. We got our train to Union Station at 9:30 p.m. As soon as we arrived, Jessica 's dear friend, Cathy from her work team, greeted us and took us directly to the hospital so we could meet our little Brooke, and check to see how her Momma and Daddy were doing as well.
Jess had went into the hospital the night before to be induced, as she had gone past her due date of September 24. As things progressed, the team decided it would be best to do a C-section. With that being said, this meant that Jess would have a longer stay in the hospital. Andy and Jess decided it would work nicely for us to just stay at their apartment, since Andy was staying at the hospital with Jess and Brooke.
I just have to mention what a GREAT DAD that Andy is! He started from the very beginning right out of the gate, so to speak, changing diapers and cleaning up and helping Jess with anything she needs help with. Feeling very rested the other morning, he even took Brooke out for her very first trip to the grocery store and Starbucks! He was prepared for a diaper blowout or any other need that had to be met. Of course, he wasn't gone all day either, but still for a new dad to do that so soon is pretty cool. In fact, he has probably changed as many, if not more diapers than Jess has. They are going to be great parents. He certainly loves that little daughter is his! Totally smitten!

Here are some pics we wanted to share with you all.

Andy's selfie with Brooke at Starbucks!
We had a very sweet time of being able to be there so close to the time Brooke was born. It was just such a blessing to be able to share this time together. We are so very blessed! God is so good! Our prayer is that Brooke will come to know Jesus at an early age.
A very special thank you to all who have been praying before, during and now after will continue to pray.
