Had the most surreal week ever. Overwhelmed, overjoyed, exhausted, bursting with love. My life has officially changed forever.
Right after birth; all cleaned up and meeting mommy for the first time:

Daddy and baby checking each other out:

Want to hear something funny? I was scheduled to be induced this past Tuesday, but the baby decided to get things started naturally a couple hours before the induction. And I had a crochet project packed away in my hospital bag. Yep, I figured during the induction I would be bored. Turns out, by the time I got to the hospital, I didn’t have time for a thing (things progressed way faster than anticipated). I suppose that crochet project will have to wait. (Maybe during nursing sessions when I’m also catching up on Project Runway and Top Chef episodes? Hehehe)

ETA: If you can handle it, the birth story is here (password: nathaniel) =)



Your little one(boy, girl?) is beautiful! I miss those first moments when you see their faces for the very first time. Such a wonderment. Congratulations, on your Best FO ever. :)

Congrats he is beautiful! My son also decided to come right before I was to be induced. Enjoy the ride – motherhood is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.
