Hello readers! Life has been extremely interesting as of recent. My husband and I welcomed our baby boy! After a whole crazy whirlwind of 12 hours of labor, our son Olly was born on Feb 6th, 2015 @ 19:46. A mere 7lbs 1oz, Olly was healthy and a very round baby.
Life has been a roller coaster since then. We've had a lot of sleepless nights, cries, laughs and just about every emotion there is possible. However we never knew we would be so attached to something so small. Now... for those who know me, know that I am not really the mothering type. My maternal instincts are a little on the lower end of the spectrum. Even when I was pregnant, I was thinking that in 9 months, I will be heading to the hospital to pick up the baby, not deliver it. I never said the "aww's" whenever I saw a baby and I never got gushy around children. Therefore knowing that a child was about to be handed to me was a little scary.
The best moment to me was while in recovery (I had to have an emergency C section), they placed Olly on my chest for some skin to skin bonding. Again, not knowing what to expect here. Then the most remarkable thing happened; he crawled and bobbed around with his little head and latched himself onto my breast. I was at a lost for words and was simply in awe to witness this instinct behavior from my baby. From then on, we had to keep him ;)
