More Caleb Part 1

I finally found the pictures Danny took on his iPhone. I had to doctor a few of them up and I'm nothing close to an expert on Photoshop so I hope nobody is offended by what you see :)

Our last night as a family of 3


Super low quality pic. But it must be documented.


Lots of waiting...

Getting the IV
Dr Thackery & Dr Froerer
Sorry for the blood...
The NICU team checks him out
Getting wiped down--the trauma!
Coming to terms with his weight
Everything looks good at this point!
Waiting what felt like an eternity to see him
Getting sewn back up
Getting ready to head to the recovery room...I'm wondering where my belly went!

 Getting time to bond with my boy before he was taken away. We had about 10-15 minutes.

It's crazy how swollen the morphine made my nose. They mentioned that might happen. It sure did.

Part 2 coming tomorrow...

I still kind of can't believe how routine it is for doctor's to do a c-section or deliver a baby. It's crazy how common place it is and how often it happens yet each time is a beautiful, sacred miracle. I'm so blessed to be a part of that miracle.
