The Pictures, Part One

~ no lengthy captions tonight: just names...Barbara, the wonderful midwife, Tobin, and me

~ the proud papa with his littlest son

~ Grandma, an extremely important part of our support team

~ Josiah and David meeting Tobin for the first time
~ the proud grandpa who did a great job of caring for Josiah and David while we were at the hospital giving birth...and who got to live up to his name (being a "herald" of good news) the following day when the rest of us were either too sick or too tired or too preoccupied to spread the news much! but more about all of that later...

Beautiful mommy. :) I think you commented about my afterbirth glow... you look just as stunning, happy, relieved, joyous! Congratulations again, Davene! Looking forward to Part 2 of the story and what about the sickness! Take time to rest... blogging can wait. :)

Davene--Tha precious photo of your mama and little Tobin brought tears to my eyes. She looks like she is in too much AWE to even smile. Surely, she must be remembering the first time she held you and now what a gift it was to be close enough to be able to hold Tobin within minutes of being born. You are all SO very blessed --- and a blessing!

AHHH he is so sweet! Now I'm getting the baby urge again!
I love the pictures, and have teared up more times than I can count reading about him. Hooray and Praise the Lord!
