My blog began as a way to vent my frustrations surrounding our struggle with infertility. I am now ELATED that it has moved from an infertility to pregnancy blog and finally our baby blog! The scars of infertility will never fade completely, and truthfully I don't want them to. Infertility has impacted our lives in a way nothing else ever could, and I'm very grateful for all it has taught me. At some point we will probably be traveling down this road again in order to complete our family, but for now we are enjoying our amazing little guy! He's so much more perfect than we ever imagined he could be. I guess it's true what they say...good things DO come to those who wait! :o)

He's FINALLY here!

Oh my...where to begin.  Greyson Edmund Kuntz finally decided to join us on Wednesday, March 18th at 4:16 am!  His arrival was LOOOOONG overdue (twelve days to be exact), but definitely worth every minute.  He has been the perfect addition to our family.  I guess good things do come to those who wait.  Here he is!


He weighed in at 8.2lbs and was 22.5" long!  No wonder I felt absolutely huge and uncomfortable! Daddy is already planning out his basketball career ;o)  

Each day keeps getting better and better.  We're starting to settle in to a good rhythm with things, and figuring out what "normal" is now.  He really is a very easy going baby.  The only time he ever really throws a fit is when he's getting a diaper change or he's hungry.  We called him stubborn for the longest time, but I think Aunt Cindy was right, he's not stubborn, he's just very laid back and chill.  Things don't get to him.  Let's hope that continues!  

My labor and delivery were quite the marathon, but I'll save those details for another post.  Today is our first day home alone together and we're doing quite well!  Griffin is at the babysitter and Matthew went back to work.  Here's hoping poor Daddy can make it through the day.  Greyson is a little bit of a night owl.  He likes to cluster feed from about 9-midnight, making for some late nights for both Matthew and me, so he's pretty tired!  At least I get to stay home and nap throughout the day.  

We are so over the moon about this little guy.  Griffin has been great.  He wants to help with everything, and loves to give his brother kisses and hugs.  He does need reminders to be gentle, of course, but what 3 yr old wouldn't?  He gets so concerned when Greyson cries, he wants to know what's wrong and how to help "fix it."  I hope he always wants to help his little brother as much as he does right now.  It melts my heart to see how much he loves Greyson!  Hopefully they will be the best of friends.

First time holding his little brother
