Erica and Grant have 3 beautiful children who they absolutely adore. One girl and two boys, so when they found out they were having another little girl they were absolutely delighted. They knew this would be their final baby and they wanted to make sure they savored every last minute of the experience. Erica wanted nothing more than to go into labor on her own. However little Gracyn was enjoying her time on the inside too much, and had no desire to make her debut. So when Erica received the phone call late Wednesday night that they had a bed available for her she decided Gracyn had enough time and they were ready to meet her.
It was a long night for Grant and Erica. By the time they got checked in and the meds started it was nearly 4am. They were exhausted but couldn't sleep because they knew what was about to unfold. The beginning labor was slowly progressing, 6 hours in and Erica had only dilated to 3cm. Erica was beginning to question if this was going to be her longest labor to date when she finally realized her water had just broke. At almost exactly one hour later, Gracyn Wyatt Reeder decided to grace this family with her presence.
The entire room was in awe over her beauty. Every feature was perfectly formed; she was angelic, beautiful, sweet, and knew what she wanted. The day could not have been more priceless! Family trickled in to congratulate and stare in awe over this beautiful new little girl Erica and Grant had been blessed with. She was nothing shy of perfection!
Congratulations Erica and Grant. I was so blessed to be able to share in this amazing experience with you guys. There is nothing more miraculous than a mother giving birth to her child. Gracyn is one very lucky girl to have you both as parents. I wish your family the best, and look forward to watching her grow!
