Tae is here!

I know this is a little late, but I wanted to post it anyway. My son Tae David Simmons has arrived! On March 23, 2007 Tae was born weighing 8lbs 10 ozs and was 21 inches long. He had a full head of black hair. He wouldn't cry right when he was born so he had to be in the nursery for a little while, but Lavar was able to go stay with him. I went to the hospital that morning at 5:00am and was induced into labor. He was born that evening at 6:19pm. I had to push for an hour and a half, but it was all worth it. The greatest part is that Lavar was able to make it. We had a lot of people praying for him to be able to come, but we just weren't sure. Well, you couldn't have planned it better! The Lord knew what a help he would be and how much I needed him there. I was convinced that I would have been fine with out him, but after having him there I am so thankful that he was able to come. On Monday, March 19 I had a doctor's appointment. That is when Doctor Koh let me know that he thought I should be induced on Friday. So I called Lavar and told him and we were thinking about changing the ticket because his team wasn't happy that he was going to miss a game. So we then thought, why not try to come before hand? So he checked with his team and was able to change his ticket to come Thursday night to be there for the birth. The Lord is awesome and it was an amazing answer to prayer. We now have our beautiful son, and Lavar was able to be a part of his birth. Here are some pictures...
