We are proud to introduce our baby boy, Charlies Michael Emerson, AKA "Charlie." He was born Tuesday, April 28 at 1:15 p.m. He weighs six pounds, 12 ounces, and is 20 inches long. So far he is a very laid back, content little guy with a full head of dark hair. He makes a lot of funny little faces that we love to watch. We are loving him and holding him, and just getting to know our baby. We have never felt happier, or more overwhelmed! I am exhausted beyond belief, thrilled beyond belief, and 100% head over heels in love!
This is the first moment we laid eyes on him.
He is presently soundly asleep in his bassinet in our bedroom. His daddy is with him, protectively watching over him while Mommy uploads photos.
Following are several more of my favorite photos from today, our first day with our precious little one. We took over 200 photos, so I'm trying to be selective in the ones I choose to share. There is so much more to talk about, and so much more to post here, but I really just want to go hold my baby boy. I could look at him non-stop for the next 100 hours and still never have enough. My family is absolutely, unbelievably amazing. While we were at the hospital today, they decorated (and I do mean decorated) our nursery. It looks like something for which I would have paid A LOT of money!! Needless to say, there will be photos coming of this and more, but for tonight, I leave you with pictures of our precious baby boy!!
