Emmerson PHBB.

Ehryn finally got discharged from the hospital yesterday! She gave birth to my God son Emmerson PHBB on July 20th @ 6:43 PM. He weighed 8 lbs 13½ oz and was 21 inches long. I feel like I've waited forever to meet him! Aside from work & the most random tasks I had planned, I never made it to Terrace to see her in the hospital. I didn't even know she delivering in Terrace until 5 minutes before she started pushing!

Wheew. Back to THIS week, 'cause that was last week. I finally had the chance to meet, hold, spend time, bond, smile & talk with my God son! I can't even begin to say what it felt like when I stepped into the living room & saw Ehryn walking towards me with him. My heart didn't only melt, but it somehow molded itself back together & continued melting the whole friggen night! I have SO much love for this little man. :) I don't know how to thank Ehryn for chosing me as a God mother for Emmerson. For those of you who don't know, "To be a Godmother" was on my Bucket List! (I should blog about my bucket list, yeah?) I see like ten million great things about being a God parent, but I'll only give you my main reason for right now... You can't make yourself a God mother! Somebody has to decide if they have enough trust in you to give you such a huge responsibility. Its not picking/choosing a best friend, here! The way I also see it, is not everybody will get the opportunity to be a Godmother/Godfather in their life time. There was somebody that I talked to when I was like 13 and she couldn't STAND her God child! I think it was that moment when I started realizing the meaning to what the title actually means to BE a God parent. My thoughts were something like, "Okay, if I have kids when I'm older, and I heard the Godmother couldn't stand my kid, what would I think? What would I do?" I don't think I processed my thoughts fully or made them make much sense, but I did try to think about it! Anyways. I'm thankful. More than thankful. That's all I can say. I swear I got more muscles in my jaw from smiling at Emmerson for so long when I was holding him last night. My eyes were gluuued to him, omg.

I only got to spend the night with him and I'm off to Prince George today, but I will definitely be spending a LOT more time there! I'm stoked to watch him grow up.

I'm also gonna be designing Ehryns baby shower invitations! Yay!! :)

That's it for now, I'm sure you'll be hearing a LOT more about him! (I'll post pics of him soon, too).

Thanks for reading!!

  1. well its about time! ahah. jkjk
    but isnt it an unreal feeling? i have a god daughter...when i first found out, i cried. when she was born, i cried. when i met her, i cried. when i said bye to her for the first time, i cried. it's such a high honor. that this person, trusts you with the responsibility of being almost an extra set of parent(s) for their son or daughter.
    k, imagine this, my ....'partner'(still cant use the B word) has 5! godsons! .... 5! i dunno. it's cool n all. it just seems a bit... excessive. lol.

    anyway, congrats god momma ^_^ you get remembers at mother's day too, and its a great feeling. in fact, my god baby calls me auntie-mom. and it makes my heart flutter. safe travels to PG! see you on tuesday:)

  2. LOL, I know I know! I did not know I'd take so long to blog again! :( I miss it when I'm not posting, so idk why I don't post more often?! It only makes sense.

    When I heard Ehryn was pushing, I started crying because I wanted to be there sooooo bad! I was so happy though -- it was mixed emotions! Bittersweet? I feel like I have to be a better person & he's not even my own child. :P I agree 100% about how its like being a second parent -- but how do you even BEGIN to explain what it feels like to be given the op. & trusted so much? :) Ahh, makes me feel great. Really!

    A BIT excessive?! Lol, wow that's crazy! I hope it doesn't start to lose the meaning? I wouldn't think so though. :)

    & that's neat! I didn't know we get Mothers Day credit! LOL. Awww, that's sweet! :) YAY! I feel like I've matured since he's been born, but I also feel like a little kid again being SO happy about it. Nina said baby is gonna call me momma Jenn! I was like, "I WILL SO LET HIM CALL ME JENN" lol, and everyone knows how big'a deal that is!

    Thanks for the comments once again, Megan. :D
