After 18 painful hours of trying to induce labor, the MFN recommended that we have a section. Chloe was so brave! This is how I found her when I was finally let into the OR.
Graham Emerson Clinger's first photo. Chloe and I were looking at each other when we heard a cry. Chloe said, "that's him!" I looked over and there he was! From what I had been told, I expected him to be slimy and alien-like; instead he looked like a boxer post-match. Nine pounds, six ounces and 21.5 inches long. Instant love.
Not too thrilled about being yanked out of the womb.
We subsequently learned that his umbilical cord had a knot in it.
Proud new father holding his new son.
