First time I got to hold my baby boy!

After my husband left the OR and went with Colton to the NICU I was so nervous.  I couldn't help but wonder how he was doing and if he really was doing as well as Brad had told me he was.  The doctors got done sewing me up and wheeled me down to the recovery room.  After a little bit the medicine started to wear off and I was definitely feeling the pain of a c-section.  After what seemed like forever Brad finally came in to check on me and give me an update on Colton.  He said that he was doing great, breathing on his own and just perfect!  He showed me some pictures he took on the camera.  I thought he was the most amazing, adorable little boy ever! Just perfect!  Brad went back to the NICU to be with Colton.  And I was brought to my room.. still is a lot of pain.  About 6 hours after Colton was born I got to see him, to meet him!  I was so nervous and excited!  When I got to the NICU I started to cry.. seeing all these little baby some doing well and other not doing to well... made me nervous.  Then when I got to Colton little bed, and I saw his little face.. I was so happy!  The nursed got him out of his bed and gave him to me to hold.. I wasn't sure even how to hold him because his head was pretty big.. I was so nervous that I was going to hurt his poor head.  I just looked at him and was crying so hard and I just sat there thanking God.  Thanking him for giving me Colton, Thanking him for Colton here and doing well!  I will never forget the first time I held him... After months of not knowing if he was going to make it, if I would ever be able to hold him for the first time.. and he is here and I am holding him.  He is the most precious, perfect, amazing baby boy I have even seen.  I love you Colton James!  Keep Strong baby boy!
