I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my nephew
since the day I found out Alexsis was pregnant. {Ironically enough, she found
out she was pregnant right after her 21st birthday. I kept telling
her I wanted to take her out for a drink, and was a little bummed when she wasn't
on board. Turns out, it’s because there was a baby on board!} My experience and
relationships with children has been minimal to say the least, and I have been
both nervous and excited to meet Hendryx and see how our relationship will
work.
On Wednesday, May 21st {just one day after his due date}, Alexsis told me they were at the hospital. I was so excited; I couldn't focus on anything at work. I purposely stayed late that night, lingering around my office hoping to get a phone call that it was time for me to go meet the little one. My impatience kicked in, and I finally went home. Around 9:45 p.m. JC sent me the very first picture of Baby Hendryx. As I first glanced at the picture of that tiny baby kicking and screaming, I instantly began to cry. I had a nephew, and I had fallen in love.

The next day, I couldn't get to the hospital quick enough, and needless to say, I couldn't make myself leave. I sat in the room with JC and Alexsis, and swooned over their precious little baby for hours. His full head of hair and tiny little characteristics made him completely irresistible. I knew from the moment that I met him that he would always have a hold of me like no one else does; as the first little boy who stole my heart.
