At 3:18 on Sunday afternoon, Holden was born with a little push on Jen's belly and a little suction on his head. He came out whole, healthy and cried for about 3 minutes. And other than that, he's been content to just sleep, eat and dirty his diaper. He was 7 lbs, 6.1 oz and measured at 20.5".
It's been really nice. Until today, when the doctor snipped the tip. He came back screaming and for the first time, we didn't know how to comfort him. As his dad, I was incredibly concerned about how much pain he was in. The doctor told us - "He didn't cry when we gave him the numbing shot, or during the procedure. It was after we were done when the nurse decided to suction out his nose that he started screaming."
Now it all make sense! He's a man's man, but just don't touch his nose. He might get mad.
Jen's all ready too. I love her shower cap in this picture!
Hello Mommy! I'm heeeeeere!
The nurse kept telling me to get the money shot. Not sure why it's the money shot, but Holden sure ain't shy...
What's amazing is that the doctors are still sewing Jen up and she's smiling!
Our first family picture together.
They both love him. For now. We'll see when we get home!
