A Day of Firsts

Today is a day of many firsts for the Fraziers. This is the first time that I (aka The HOTY) have been asked to be a "guest" on my wife's blog. I know that you all have become accustomed to the wonderfully witty story telling of Laura Ann, however tonight she has requested that I post an entry.

As I am certain that most of you are aware, today was the Big day in which we were to visit the Doctor as a family to learn whether my little Emma "Lou" would be welcoming a baby brother or sister. As Emma and I waited to be called back to be with Laura Ann for the big reveal, the memories seemed all so recent of this very moment when I was waiting alone to learn of Emma. As Emma and I entered the room where Laura Ann was lying, I said a little prayer that no matter what the fourth Frazier was to be, that he or she be healthy and whole in every way. Emma "Lou" immediately began to cry, as she was afraid the doctor was hurting her Mommy (that's another story).

As we crowded in at Laura's side to see the ultrasound monitor, I held Emma tightly waiting. The technician took measurements of everything from head to toe for what seemed like an eternity. She told us that everything was as it should be, "just beautiful". Then, with a little hesitation (& crossed legs) my son, Gavin, finally revealed himself to us. I could not believe my (tear filled) eyes, we are having a baby Boy! Laura Ann and I looked at one another and were overcome with emotion as we looked at our little boy for the first time. Just then, my sweet Emma "Lou" gazed at the screen and said "Brother".


The Fraziers have undoubtedly been blessed more than we could ever ask or expect. We are eternally grateful for the abundance of God's miraculous blessings in our lives, our God truly is an Awesome God! I never could have imagined knowing love the way that I love my sweet Emma "Lou". Now knowing this love, I cannot wait to share it with my baby boy, Gavin Thomas Frazier.
