July 9th was a very special day!
We got to welcome our 3rd beautiful son into our family!
My c-section was scheduled for 8:00 am which means we had to be at the hospital
(which is downtown) by 6am.
I never sleep much the night before I have a new baby. It's a combination of nerves (because I strongly dislike having c-sections) and excitement to finally meet this new babe.
Last shot of this baby belly.
Getting all checked in, changed and sterilized for surgery.
Oliver Jay Hall was born at 10:02 am.
He was 9 lbs 12 oz and was 21 1/4 inches long!
Our healthiest baby yet.
I love my Doctor, Patrice Firpo. I love this picture because she is the tiniest lady and she is holding Oliver out toward the camera so his head looks almost as big as hers! ;)
Getting cleaned & wrapped up. Being born is rough!
Meeting each other.
There is nothing more precious than gazing into a new precious little face for the first time. It was so great at the women's hospital because I got to hold him for a good while after he was born, while they finished the surgery. In my previous deliveries, I only get to see them for a minute and they take them away until I am out of recovery. It's always been disappointing.
I was so happy to have that time to bond with him.
Already looking for food!
They also brought him to me when I was in the recovery room and he got to stay with me for over an hour there! It was so so wonderful to have him with me there and be able to nurse him. This boy knew exactly what to do, too. Love Women's hospital!
Just after his first bath. All cleaned up and settled in.
They have both been so great with him and are always trying to help.
This little boy is very loved.
The next day after I was feeling a little better, Larry and Misty brought their kids down to meet Oliver too. Uncle Steve & Aunt Julie also came Sunday night to visit and meet him.
Everyone got their turn snuggling his cheeks.
Proud brother...
Proud daddy...
Handsome boy.
Modeling his beautiful head of hair...
Flowers from my all my boys.
Words can't express the love that a new baby brings. I am always amazed how each new little person opens your heart more and brings so much joy. We love you little Oliver and we so grateful you are part of our family!
