baby c: week 1

This has been the most amazing week of my life!!  my little surfer was born on june 25th at 8:28am, weighing 6 lbs 11 oz and 19.5 inches long.  from first glance, i knew he was perfection wrapped in a blue and pink striped hospital blanket. 

the birth story was unlike anything i ever imagined, hoped or prayed for, but it was evident God had a far better story to tell.  His presence was everywhere surrounding baby c's birth!! we asked to pray before the "delivery" began, and my doctor, midwife, nurses and anesthesiologist all took a moment to stop what they were doing and pray with us.  we had a music playing on my phone, and d and i just looked into each others eyes while the entire process was happening.  baby c was born to one of our favorite worship songs, and the entire experience was extremely peaceful.  it was one of those times where you could feel the presence of God in every moment.

baby c had breach baby legs and old man hair!  at least those were some of the first things i noticed about him.  his hips were splayed out after months of being breach in mommy's tummy, and he had a ring of LONG hair around the back of his head.  he looked just like an old man!!  other things I noticed right away were his toes!  on his left foot, his fourth toe is just like his mommy's and his pinky toe is just like his daddy's.  baby c had probably 40 people come to visit him in the hospital, he is already a very popular little boy and absolutely full of love.  he hardly ever cries, and when he does it is the cutest thing ever!

what an amazing week!!
