The Big Reveal

After several hours in bed following the c-section and all these visitors meeting my boy, I was ready to see him myself.  The doctor gave me the go ahead about 9 hours after surgery and I was thrilled to (by wheelchair) get to go to the NICU and see my boy.  You can imagine how well the tears flowed at that visit!  You can see from the picture just how tiny he is with our hands on top of him. He rests well in his isolette and they take such great care of him (and of us).  

And did I mention he was born on my birthday?  Tuesday, September 16th at 5:11 am at 27 weeks small.  He was 1 pound, 10 ounces, and 12.4 inches long.
