My heart melted from the very first moment I set eyes on our little boy. It was almost impossible to believe that all the legal work was said and done. The very first second we saw him, he was already ours. The strangest part is that it felt so RIGHT.
Chris and I rushed to the now familiar nursery and washed up as quickly as we could. The nurse led us around a corner, and there he was… sleeping in a little bassinet looking so alone I could hardly stand it. His birth mom had already gone home, and he was waiting for us. How could this perfect little angel really be ours. Chris recovered from shock quicker than me, and he reached down and picked him up. The look on Chris’s face was so beautiful. A dad and his son, and Chris looked natural after two days of caring for Dahlia!
Finally it was my turn to hold him. I did a quick inventory… ten fingers, ten toes and the most perfect little face that I have ever seen. Although I had nothing to do with making him, I instantly felt proud to be his mama.
He has the most beautiful shade of hair, and I have always dreamed of having a little boy with red hair. Ask my mom!
45 minutes later, the nurse told us we could go home. My first thought was, “Are you kidding, it can’t be this easy!” But it was, we walked out of the hospital holding a beautiful baby boy.
