7 lbs. 5 oz.
20 in.
DRUM ROLL..........
HE HAS ARRIVED!!
our happy little family! {apparently max listened to my pleas and decided to surprise everyone by showing up early! boy are we glad he did!}
{six hours earlier...}
this is us just hanging out waiting for everything to go down (not literally, well, kinda)
this is how happy jess was, not nervous at all. and me getting excited for the baby.
one of the first pictures ever taken of his cute self.
first time parents. love at first sight.
minutes after birth, they whisked him away to hook him up to a nasal cpap machine. his lungs were having a hard time expanding fully so they attached this little device to him. not only that, but they had to insert a thin little tube into his stomach to get out a bunch of junk. after two hours they finally brought him back to me! {danny got to go hold him after the first hour...but not me}
adoring our little guy. we sure do love him. LOTS.
this is just minutes after he was born. i'm still amazed that he is mine.
his fingernails are extremely long...and he loves clawing himself...so he gets to wear these little mittens {boxing gloves as danny calls them}. but we think he looks pretty cute.
danny changing his FIRST diaper. EVER. he did a fantastic job, and he is already a pro {because max is a pro pooper!}
he loves sticking out his tongue! {but don't worry...his eyes aren't always cross-eyed}
our little burrito baby. we could just eat him up!
baby's first bath. he screamed the entire time
and this is our little angel.
we love our max and couldn't be happier about how wonderful the entire "labor day" went. {more details to come}

AHHHH!!!! I love it! I'll have you know that I cried while reading this. I wish I could tell you how happy I am, but it's impossible, but I'm sure you understand because you're a million times more happy than I am about your little guy. I love you guys a lot and need to come down and see Max!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I can't believe how beautiful you look after just giving birth. And I think in the first picture, little Max already looks like such a George. I think his little profile looks like Brian. :) Ahhh!!!! So happy!!!
Congratulations! He's so darling, and you, Jessie, look great!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS! Holy cow. I told my Mom today and she screamed! She is so excited for you. It was so funny because she's like, All I can picture is you two in NC totally single and not caring about anything except laughing and having fun and now you're both mommies!
