George's First Time Holding Corbin and Announcing His Birth to Our Family and Friends

Daddy and His Little Man! I know that both George and I were very shook up about having the emergency surgery. I was so thankful that George was able to be in the room with me (after I was all numbed up and cut open, of course). When we heard Corbin's first cry, it was like music to our ears. I immediately welled up with tears because I was so ecstatic that he was here!

Daddy Admiring His Little Guy! After looking at George's baby pictures and looking at Corbin as a newborn, I am in awe of the similarities between the two. I always wanted a little boy that looked like my handsome husband - and I got one! What a gift from God!

The waiting room was filled with anxious people wanting to know what was going on. All that they knew was that I was having an emergency c-section and that everything was okay. I am sure that they knew that everything was NOT okay otherwise I wouldn't have needed the surgery. So, when George went out to the waiting room, I am sure that everyone was relieved to know that the baby and I were doing just fine. However, I wanted to be present when he announced to everyone the baby's name. That was one tough secret to keep quiet!!!

Corbin Joshua in the nursery. His temperature was slightly low so he was there under the warmer for quite some time. It was about three hours after he was born before I could really hold him. Then I didn't want to let him go...
