I am amazed everytime I see them for the
first time. Pretty sure I've cried
everytime also ^^ I spend weeks checking
out everything, all I wanna do is stare at
them.

Sorry- I should clarify when you gave
birth and saw them for the first time
With Layla I was shell shocked. I just
stared at her not knowing what to make of
it. It was like my whole pregnancy I had
being in denial and didn;t realise an
ACTUAL baby would come out.

It's so strange seeing them and thinking
only minutes before, this person was
inside of you O.O Fully formed and perfect
and kicking you in the ribs haha.

straight after he was born, i was too
tired to think. i think, during the night,
being woke up by a small cry, i just
thought 'wow this is all real, hes mine'.
i changed his nappy, fed him and just
stared into his eyes until he fell asleep
again

I could barely see him when they were
cleaning him and stuff (i didn't see him
until 2 hours after he was born) I cried..
When my mom went and got him for me to see
later that night I cried again.. I was
just so amazed at him... I couldn't
believe it was real, that he was finally
here...

i was a mess when finn finally came out.
i'd been sobbing since they prepped me for
my c-section and i was exhausted after 14
hours of labor. when he finally came out
everyone kept trying to show him to me but
they were holding him so close to my face
that i couldn't focus, so i remember i
kept saying "i can't see him!"
when we finally got to our room i was
feeling much better and i stayed up from
10pm-4am holding him and staring at him.
then i had to send him to the nursery
because i was exhausted but couldn't sleep
with him in the room (because i couldn't
put him down).

I think I'm like you Becky, it still
hasn't kicked in that there's a human
being in me and that an actual baby will
come out! lol.
When I saw it on the U/S I had the biggest
smile on my face and was getting teary.
Can't imagine what I'll do when I actually
see it!

cried! I have an awesome pic of me
kissing her right after they cleaned her
up. I have an 8X10 of it on my wall.
Jesse also cried after walking into the
hall with 20 people congratulating him.
He couldn't take it anymore and just
started bawling.

I laughed hysterically! Sounds odd but I
swear, that was the best high ever. I was
so excited that I birthed my son and that
it was so easy.
I want to have another child just for that
moment. It was incredibl.

Suzy thats an amazing picture!! I wish I
had some like that.
With Macy I think the fact that i didnt
push her out and get to see her right away
made me feel like she wasnt really mine. I
just said O she has hair.
With Liam I cried for like 9 hrs, he was
born at 9:45 didnt get to hold him til the
following morning
