I would like to introduce our son, Collin Grey.Born Friday May 22 at 11:27 am. 7 pounds, 3 ounces, 21 inches tall.
Just born.
Proud big sister.
Daddy time.
Proud Grandma.
***************************************
I am writing this post from my hospital bed. Got to love Wi-Fi.
Collin is perfect. He seems to be healthy in every way. He is so soft, so tiny, so lovely. He reminds me of Lydia when she was born. It is still surreal to me. I have a son. He just stares at me, and I at him. I think he must know who I am.
Shane has stayed at the hospital with me, which has been a huge help. I forgot how painful the c-section incision and after-birth pains can be. I just wish my bed was big enough for him to cuddle up with me. If anyone ever needed to be held, it is a women who just gave birth.
So here we are, suddenly in the whirlwind of having a newborn. It is a small miracle that at the same moment that you are exhausted, scared and in pain, you can be hopelessly and deliriously happy.
Congratulations. He is absolutely handsome!

ReplyDeletecongrats on your new baby boy. I love my little boy after having 2 girls. He's only 5 months, but I sure can tell he's all boy already. He's been my best baby so far so hopefully maybe it's a boy thing and Collin will be a little easier on you then Lydia was at this age. Collin is adorable
