The end is near...

Kate had her baby yesterday! Isaac Thomas-Allen Gardenghi was born yesterday at 8:38pm, weighing in at 8lbs 8oz. For more details please see
Kate's Blog and Paul's Blog. I'll try to blog more on that when I have time... but the experience was incredible. I'm still in awe of Kate. She was so incredibly strong and brave. When I first heard Isaac cry... words cannot express... they fail to express the sensation that overcame me. I cannot imagine what it must have been like for Paul and Kate. He is so beautiful. Not at all like some of the other newborns who come forth wrinkly or discolored from the birthing experience. He was beautiful.. Perfect. I'm still grasping for words to describe those 18-19 hours in which Kate was in labor. But I will attempt to do so hopefully in the near future. While it is still fresh in my mind... though I do not believe I shall ever forget. Paul too was very strong. He thinks he did not do much, and perhaps comparatively not so much, but he was strong for Kate when she had such need for him to be so. I could tell it hurt him to see her in so much pain. But he did not desert her or wallow in helplessness. He was there, holding her hands, supporting her, whispering encouragment, breathing with her, kissing her, rubbing her in reassurance. Love cannot be more evident.

Sadly, I myself am so bored and looking, hoping for, yet dreading distractions right now. I'm attempting to study for my last, and prob most massive final in Social and Behavioral Health. It's very slow going. I've barely made any progress. Barely started studying until today and the final's tomorrow evening. *sighs* I'm just kind of at a state where I don't want to care, but I'm afraid to completely give into that level of apathy. I'm just so mind weary. Just one more day... it will be over soon.
