Sully was born at 11:08 pm, weighed 4lbs, 15 oz and measured 18 inches.
I know I should be sleeping but I’ve just finished feeding my little Sully with his tiny syringe so I’m awake anyway. I find the banana pudding my brother left for me in the fridge as I put away my agoniziningly collected milk and figure a moment for mother nourishment and to write is deemed worthy before sleep. And what I have to write – oh – I feel like there are pages and pages in my heart. Those thoughts will come with time but for tonight, this sweet night finds me writing that I have a baby in my house! My Sully is here with me and there is such joy. All of the fears, all of the anxiety over bringing him home, all of it is gone. As soon as he was in my arms all I wanted was for him to stay as long as he could. It is true that perfect love casts out fear. That is what I was given in that first moment I held him, a taste of perfect love.

Congratulations Andersons! I realize that there is nothing I can really say that won't sound trite. I know this has been a tumultuous road for you all. Please know that I am praying for you all. Your blog has been an inspiration to me and I look forward to hearing about all of the days that Sully has here on earth. God is so good even when we can't make sense of his perfect plan.

Thank you for allowing me into your world, my feelings have been so emotional and abstract, now I can see your little Sully and feel closer to the whole family.
