Blessed

I plan to do a several-parter blog about the birth of BabyK, but today, I wanted to just let you guys in a short post know how things are going currently.

Words can never fully describe the feeling you get when you hear your baby cry for the first time. The whole nine months of worry, stress, and fear simply vanish for that few small seconds as your baby’s cry fills the room, and you look at your over at your husband and through tear-filled eyes say “He’s here!!” In that instant, your entire world changes.

That instant for us was this past Tuesday at 3:37pm. After going from a planned induction to a unplanned c-section, we waited as the doctor performed the delivery of our son and held him up for us to see. He was beautiful. He was cleaned up and wrapped up for us to see, hold for a few seconds, and kiss, then he was taken to the nursery to be evaluated while I was finished up and taken to holding/recovery.

This is where things get a little long and need a few posts to tell the full story, so I’ll save those for later in the week. But for now, after a week in the hospital, we are finally home and are doing fine. I rest while he sleeps, and hold, kiss and snuggle him when he’s awake. He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. If asked would I do it again knowing how hard it was, my answer in a skinny second would be “absolutely”. He is so worth every second of the pregnancy. We are truly, 100000% blessed beyond what I could ever dream.
