Today’s topic is “The first time I saw…” and immediately my mind jumped to the first time I saw my son.
After 36 hours in the hospital, with 16 hours of active labor, and 4 hours of pushing, I was ready to meet this little man! When he finally made his debut, it was a rough start. I couldn’t see him, and I couldn’t hear him. Panic was setting in. His Apgar score was a 4. Then soon I heard him crying, and within minutes, I heard them say his Apgar score was a 9! They finally brought him over and placed him in my arms. It was love at first sight!
I can’t remember who it was who snapped this cell phone picture with my phone, but I still keep it in my phone to remember that moment Baby C laid on my chest.
So the first time I saw my son….it was nothing but LOVE.
What about you? How would you finish the sentence “The first time I saw….”?
A great post on the months of both of my children’s’ birthdays. Childbirth is so amazing and good for you for having a natural labor. I had 2 c-sections and mourn the fact I was not allowed to deliver. Our babies are precious in so many ways! Best to you and your children.
Wow. Crazy delivery! Amazing little baby :)
I will never forget that day for me too! <3
When I pulled that beautiful little girl up to my chest and met my daughter for the first time was one of the most amazing moments of my life!
The first time I saw my no-longer a baby boy delivered. I had been in labor for over 12 hours when the Dr. performed an emergency c-section after his heart rate had dropped. When I heard his cry and held him for the first time I knew I would never forget that moment and would cherish it forever.
OMG moment for me was the same the births of both my children. its the WOW moment. 1 moment they exist in you the next u can hold them
The first time I saw my daughter I knew I would never be the same again! So precious.
I will never forget the feeling of overwhelming love I felt it was amzing. x
Oh, thanks for sharing such a touching moment. I had a rough labor too and I just broke down in tears the moment I saw my little guy.
Love this post! The first thing I thought of today with the prompt was my kids, poor husbands lol! Love the pic, so precious :)
I remember when I first came to Minnesota and saw all the cars with rust holes. I thought people weren’t taking care of their cars, but came to find out it’s from all the salt on the roads in the winter. What a shock that was!
