After eight and a half hours of labor, at 10:23pm, I heard the cries of my baby. They were music to my ears! I had longed to hear her healthy cries for so long! I immediately started crying. No one can ever prepare you for the rush of emotions you feel the first time you see your baby's face!
One of the nurses took the camera from Brad so that he could cut the cord.
My sweet Zoey getting checked out and all cleaned up. From where I was, I could see Brad looking at Zoey...the look on his face was one that I'll never forget! His face was full of love and then when she grabbed his finger, the tears from his eyes started the fall!! Like I said, I will never forget that!
Finally in my arms!!
Our perfect family of 3!
My blood pressure was through the roof after the birth so the nurse only let a few people in the room before she kicked them all out so that I could rest.
So, the entire welcoming committee was in the hall when Zoey made the trip down to the nursery!
Zoey Jane
Born: 4-5-2012

Oh tears...so so happy for you. How it takes me back to our special days too and seeing that look on your husband's face of pure joy is so AMAZING! Can't wait to watch Zoey grow up!
Zoey is beautiful! There is nothing like falling in love with your own baby. Precious memories you will have forever and always.
