Bennett's Birth Story Part 2

Let the fun begin!

Dr. J. I didn't see this table... 

So thankful that my sister got all these awesome pictures!

Baby time!!!

Woo hoo! T-minus 17 minutes before we became parents!

At 3:38 I began pushing. 17 minutes later Bennett was here. With Brandon on one side of me and mom  and nurse Donna on the other they helped coach me through. That was the fastest 17 minutes of my life. I laughed, cried, said I was starving... The moment that I will never forget is when Brandon looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, 'I can see him!' I will never forget the tears in his eyes, the smile on his face, and the excitement he had. A picture can't capture that precious moment as well as I did.

Getting cleaned up in the warmer!

The umbilical cord was wrapped around Bennett's neck, so the doctor had to cut it, but Brandon got to cut the extra off.

Foot prints in the baby book!

My two boys!

 A perfectly captured moment.

Proud Daddy

Our little family.

Footprints!

Dr. J! We love you!!

First time Bennett saw his Nana

Showing Papa his new grandson!

Mommy's sweet little bundle of joy!

While I switched rooms and got all cleaned up they took Bennett to the nursery to get him checked out and cleaned up.

Check out that leg muscle! I knew he was doing squats in the womb...

After we all got moved and cleaned up and all the choas had settled, they brought him to me before we called it a night. They brought him in and handed him to me and for the first time I got to look at him in a quiet, still room and I had my first mommy moment. I cried. A happy, thankful, blessed, so grateful cry at this sweet little baby that God had blessed us with. 

And then we got to see our first smiles before we got some sleep that night!
