Trent Nicholas Milligan



































































We are so blessed to have our new son, Trent Nicholas Milligan here!! He was born on Saturday, March 28 at 1:05pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 21 in. long. He is so sweet and so far is a great sleeper and eager nurser. Rachel has really taken on a motherly role with him and wants to help with every aspect of his care. She always wants to know where he is and if she can hold him. She longs for the time when she gets to pick him up by herself and walk while holding him. She is trying so hard to be patient, but she wants to be a big girl right now! Bradley was very unsure at first, especially while I was at the hospital. But when we came home, he was very fascinated by his baby brother and loves holding him and singing his version of "Hush little baby" to Trent, which he learned from Rachel. The sweetest and most selfless thing that Bradley did was to offer Trent his beloved "Bay". He did this the first day we were home and I was so touched that I couldn't stop crying! Since then there have been soooooo many precious things that Rachel and Bradley have done with Trent, that I have cried alot! We are so thankful to be a healthy, happy family of 5 and look forward to so many milestones in the future!!

Ahhhhhhh how sweet. Trent doesn't know how lucky he is to be born into such a beautiful and loving family. But he'll realize it in due time. Pop
