First glimpse.

image

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to take a picture of a child sleeping on your right arm using a camera phone? Practically dislocated my fingers bringing you this slice of awesomeness.

Born at 6.15 this morning, 4.5 hours after waters popped explosively. Back to back labour, he came out with head tilted back and only gave me slight graze (thank you!). He’s a bit mucousy and sniffly, and my smallest baby to date. But he’s gorgeous.

I think I’m in love.
