End Of A Long Journey...

a 3 year journey has come to a happy ending...
Baby Tucker has arrived.
It started 3 years ago with Bri being asked if she would consider being a gestational
carrier for her cousin Perry and his wife.  This was a journey she and Geoff took together.
There were trips back east, countless injections, failed pregnancies, sickness, pain...
but through it all Bri was a "Rock Star".  She continued to be a wonderful wife, loving mom
to two of our grands and a top-notch designer.

There was a "Plan A".  The parents were arriving on Monday, I came on Tuesday (my job
was to watch the grands during the labor/delivery) and the BIG DAY was Wednesday.

Tucker decided he was going to come a day early!
I went directly from the airport to their house, so that I could relieve Bri's sister that had 
been there all day.  
After a longer than planned labor, Tucker was finally here.  
Bri had done it!
She gave the most unselfish gift any one could ever give...

I knew that Bri and Geoff would be protected during this whole process.
I'm still in awe of Bri for her determination and love for her family.  Geoff for standing by
and supporting her during these years.
They're amazing and we love them so much.

Geoff snapped a couple of cute pictures.

just arriving at the hospital...                                      leaving the next day and heading out for some             
                                                                                   poke that she hadn't been able to have!

The greatest gift was delivered!
