never as planned

i'm hi-jacking cher's blog.
why?
cuz she's in a hospital bed (next to me) with a 10-inch scar on her cute tummy.
yep.
baby #4 came early.
very early.
and we love him to bits.
all 19 inches & 6lbs 11 oz of him.
christian kenneth mask said, "oh no you di'nt" to July 7
and was quoted, saying, "I believe June 26th is a good day for me to grace mís padres with my presence.
Yes. June 26th it is."

i tell you what – NEVER AS PLANNED.
our hijitos never come as planned.

we are even STRONGER believers in the Lord and His miracles.
we feel so blessed that all went so miraculously well.

and i'm even more in love with the love of my life.

p.s. "the rest of the story" of our love story is still coming. there are too many details (from my head) that were left out. e.g. she never once mentioned how drop-dead, breathtakingly beautiful she was (and is). i mean, C'MON!
