We are PARENTS!!!!!!!!!!

It's so hard to believe that I am actually writing this! But we are parents. Our sweet baby boy, Harrison leigh Yoakum, arrived Monday 1/21/13 weighing 5 lbs. 12 oz. and 19 " long! He is so healthy and doing great! Brian and I headed out to Utah and somehow miraculously made it in time for the birth after getting the call at 11:30 PM 1/20/13! Our prayers have been answered thanks to an amazing, selfless beautiful girl who trusted us to parent her baby. Here is a video of all the pictures :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRTH5MU6ncc
