Welcome Maverick!!

The highly anticipated Maverick Sheppard Garrett was born today! April was admitted for observation yesterday because her preclampsia (she had high blood pressure & headaches) and around 7:00 p.m (my time) last night I got a text from her saying she was going to be induced. They started softening her cervix last night and this morning and in no time she was progressing. The texts were coming in, saying that all was great, moving along fast and she was on her way to have the epidural.

I am so happy for April, I know she is going to make a wonderful Mommy. She is a wonderful person and friend and I am so excited to share the mommy bond with her! Being a mom is the greatest thing I have ever experienced and I am so happy that April gets to experience it with little Mav. I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends in my life to discuss baby things with. Last night Carrie, Jessica and I talked on 3 way for about 45 minutes about just random things we go through as mom's and having a mommy group is truly amazing. I only wish I could be there to hug them! Thankfully I have tons of friends that keep in involved and take pictures for me! I can not wait to move home so we can have play dates and mommy outings. Reagan is going to have so much fun with all her friends!

Congratulations April & Justin, I can't wait to meet Maverick. I know you are absolutely in love with your new little man!
