This is pretty wild being a naw dad. I worry about mom and Cash, although both are healthy. When things quiet down and he actually lets me hold him, I just stare at him and almost tear up (I said almost). He is so perfect and I feel such an overwelming sense of gratitude and blessing. I love him so much and he dosen't really even know who I am but I don't care. Then comes the next knock on the door and I hold my breath and hope that he keeps sleeping as another staff member barges in to take or leave something. They're not here for him this time but mom wakes up and offers to relieve me. "Not yet," I say,"he's still sleeping."

I am so glad that all is well with all of you. He looks absolutely adorable! What a cutie he is going to be. It is so awesome to "hear" you be so touched by this new little being who has entered your lives! It is going to be such an awesome experience for all of you!
Thank God is right! Lots of Love and Prayers!
I am so happy for you guys! What a wonderful pair of parents Cash is lucky and blessed to have. I wish I could visit you in person, but know that love, prayers, and thanksgiving thoughts are sent your way!
Love,
Amanda

You'da man, Mick! Your one-arm typed thoughts are awesome.
Funny thing: I'm also typing this comment with one hand. One-handed typing dads unite! :)

One armed typers of the world unite, guys, I am joining you in the ranks. :)
I am so thrilled to hear that you are all doing so well. Treasure these moments, they are gone too quickly and there is something extra special about coming home with your first child. Wow, was it really almost 9 years ago for me?

Mick, you are hilarious! From the "headline" on, you were on a roll! It was great to talk to you the other day. Can't wait to meet the newest Crawford! Love you guys!
You know, Mick, as I was checking out the pics and reading through the blog entries, I found myself teon the verge of tears as well. I know what it feels like to struggle to bring that helpless little person into the world and then to feel the awe and wonder that comes from holding that same little person. You find yourself counting all ten fingers and toes and tracing each tiny feature and you ask yourself why God blessed you this way. Whoever said there are no miracles today has never held a newborn in their arms.
Mickey, you are truly blessed. Though I've not met your wife I can tell from the pictures what a beautiful soul she is and how she must complete you. Little Cash makes the picture even more complete. Watching you hold him and the one picture where you're leaning over him about to give hima kiss...Mickey, you're a natural dad. I don't doubt for one minute you came close to tearing up. And I'll bet when no one was looking you let that tear fall. That's just what dads do!
Enjoy him...I have discovered they grow up way too soon.They leave you way too soon as well. If you guys need anything, even just to talk, I'm here!
