Baby Day 1

Finn is currently skin to skin on my tummy, sound asleep and absolutely adorable.  We are alone in my hospital room for the first time since he was born, and it all still seems like a dream.  I can't believe this sweet little baby is mine, even as I feel his elbow and say, "Yep, I was right, that was an elbow I was feeling!" or the think that the feel of his femur through his swaddling is just like feeling his thigh when he was in my belly, and even as I feel my uterus contract every time he suckles at my breast.  It's a miracle that I hope all of you who are thinking, trying, waiting and dreaming will all feel one day.

His delivery was one of the most amazing things I've ever done - and I want to write it out in a way that does it justice.  So that will have to wait, as I'm not too coherent at the moment, but I won't let it wait too long, the details are already blurry as it is.  Thankfully Heidi and Jamie capture a lot of the details on camera, so I have a photographic record to help me keep it all straight.

But I will share a picture of him taken today by Heidi before she left today.  You can bet there will be many more to come!
