It's a Boy - Meet Declan John McQuade

After 48 hours of induction and labor, Kristin brought Liam's baby brother and our second little angel into this world.  Yesterday was one of the most emotionally draining times of my life, and all I did was stand there and hold K's right leg, as she pushed for 4 grueling hours. There are no words to describe the miracle of birth and that beautiful moment a human life is brought into this world.  Kristin was breathtakingly beautiful and utterly heroic yesterday...your three boys are so proud of you!
