Wow! Birth is amazing. After 17 hours of physical and emotional labor, Noa Kathryn Noll was born at 1:48 AM on September 27, 2006. Praise God! Sara-Beth and I went to the hospital at 7:30 AM the day before and Sara-Beth was induced an hour later. Contractions, contractions, and more contractions. It broke my heart to see the one I love most – in such pain, and for so long! Made me realize all the more how much love God has for us, in that He not only allowed, but also experienced His son suffering and dying for us. I also have a new appreciation for mothers, and a new and great appreciation for my wonderful superhuman wife! 17 hours, not one complaint, and one extremely precious daughter to forever remind us of a mother’s love.
Noa is charming and precious and has instantly won my heart. Becoming a dad is easily one of the biggest moments of my life. What a joy and blessing! Enjoy the pictures, and of course, many more to come!
One more thing – Thanks Mom for giving birth to me! Wow. Thank you.
