Shortly After Delivery
On April 16th 3:09pm Claire Emery Boulton came into this world kicking and screaming and finally became a new member of our family. Even though I was on the sidelines, the labor process seemed relatively quick and painless. The climax of the day happened when the Doc had to use forceps to pry little Claire out of poor Mom, mostly because her heart slowed every time there was a contraction. The nurse had to remind me a few hundred times that this wasn't so unusual, but the Dad in me couldn't help but worry, those forceps looked HUGE! However, after it was all said and done, Claire and Mommy had minimal battle wounds, and she was in our arms before I knew it.
Shortly After Delivery
It was my first "delivery room" experience and it will be something I will always remember. The whole ordeal opened up a new set of emotions I never knew I had in me. And once I was finally able to hold little Claire, the 9months of waiting seemed a very small price to pay (Mom might think differently).
Time for pictures! (Even Though They Don't Even Come Close To Doing Her Justice!)
