AW: First Photo(s) With Your LO

[userdeleted]

The first thing you said thread made me think about the only photo I have from the recovery room where I finally met and held him. I'm so glad my H finally thought to take one. I was way too overwhelmed and emotional to even think of photos. (And my doula, who was supposed to take photos, finked on us, so there's that.)

Anyway. I cherish this photo. Share yours!




Edit because typing

With DS1, I had extremely low iron so I could barely even open my eyes after he was born. With LO, I was so glad I felt so good after having him and got to hold him after he was born.
Please excuse the double chin of mine lol

Oh, I'm glad you felt better this time! So sweet.

(I have major double chins in most pics with LO, too.)

This was after a 50 hour failed induction leading to emergency c-section. At least my manicure looks good!

If you guys think you have double chins you should see mine... I don't want to post it because of how terrible it is. Like my neck is nonexistent because there is so much chin. You two look amazing in yours!

Oh wow. You look great even for someone who hadn't just been through all that!!


nannygoat, my hair is just covering it up in that pic. Post!! We all know how it is, girl.

[userdeleted]

Peer pressure! Lol. Seriously, if you don't feel comfortable, it's totally understandable.

[happyfeet9]

userdeleted, thanks! my hair looked good going into it 2 days before lol. Next time I'll just have Kate's team on standby

[things]

Dave (minion) photobombing.



DH.

The night of her birth.

[liljsmomma]

Please ignore the fact that I look like crap!! After 15 hours of being in ICU I finally was allowed to meet and hold my precious little girl

[aleys628]

happyfeet9 you looked great! I wish I had looked that great and I didn't go thru nearly what you did.

[nannygoat]

Against my better judgment and because I give into peer pressure... (Just focus on the baby )

[bdk0186]

Omg the one dh took and sent to everyone. Wish I wasn't a hot mess.

[userdeleted]

I honestly don't think it's possible for a new mom loving her baby (or babies!) not to be beautiful.

I love these!

[chicorojo]

I do not have any pictures at all of me and him. But this is the first time I saw him in the NICU. His little old man hair cracks me up.

[gdaniels77]

Holy crap @txaggie08 were you one of those people that put makeup on before delivering, or are you just incredibly photogenic?? You put the rest of us to shame!

[gdaniels77]

Add me to the double chin club! Luckily the pics that DH and the nurses took hid it, but when I was in labor my FIL posted a pic on facebook that was so horrible even DH begged him to take it down.

[samantha24]

I don't have any with me holding either of the boys. But here are pictures of them when they're only an hour old.

[stefdolly]

Damn Csection I didn't get to hold him right away. But when I finally did it was magical.

[stormygrace]

With LO and my dad.

[emilypk]

This was taken the day after she was born, but it's my first picture with her... So tiny and snugly!

[seerealsky]

My husband is a terrible photographer. This was the only clear picture he got, and it is horrible. Mind you, this was immediately after coming to my room from the surgery following the c-sec, so I'm high as a kite.

I got a better one on day 2, when I was more sober.

[eliz77]

LOVE this thread!!! All beautiful babies and mamas!

First time holding LO...morphine haze post c/s:

[erien22846]

*poof*
Based on the time stamp, this photo was taken less than five minutes after delivery. I sure was happy!

[frenchy816]

After 3.5 hours of med-free pushing. I look like hell.

[kookooma]

I love all these sweet pictures! You are all beautiful. One of the most special moments of my life was welcoming this little guy into the world.

Hubby held him first while I was being stitched up with third degree tears. Second pic is the next day. I was a mess having him 8 days early and never packed a bag. Of course I forgot a brush and noone had one. My mom came later that day and had her boyfriend bring one up and my sister brought shampoo so I could shower. I forgot to have hubby bring them up. He did bring clothes.

[chicorojo]

Everybody seriously looks beautiful ! Makes me sad I don't have one picture of me in the hospital with in any of my boys !

[serunatu]

This is in the recovery room, shortly after. In the delivery room I was topless for skin to skin and in every picture you can see a nipple lol
