May 19th, 2010 at 1:11pm Lucy Faye was brought into this world. I sat in the room adjacent to the OR by myself with my scrubs on waiting forRobin to be prepped. I wondered how pitiful I must look not knowing what to do with myself, and how it must be routine for the nurses to see the male species in such a paralyzed state all the time. I entered the OR and made sure to keep my eyes strictly focused on Robin's face as to not pass out. The last time I was in an OR was to have my appendix taken out at 11 years old, not a very good memory really. Anyways, Robin was awesome, drugs worked and little Lucy came out butt first pooping on everyone and I was instantly in love. Now, I did not witness this because I did not take my eyes off Robin until they had Lucy in the little incubating deal, which is pretty warm. I know this because I didn't realize how close the top of my head was to it, or why my head was so hot while I was staring at this little human being. First lesson of the day learned. I don't know if it was the heat or the bloody something flying by out of the corner of my eye that I tried not to think about, but I snapped out of it and the nurse said "She's all yours, you can touch her." I got to take her over to Momma, careful not to look sideways on the way, and show her the beautiful daughter she had so beautifully, ungrudgingly and diligently carried inside her the previous nine months. Our little family together in the flesh for the first time. Every moment since then has been the best moment of my life. Not kidding. Good stuff these little girls. Let's see, favorite thing to do right now is rock her to sleep, completely silent except for her little coos and such. What else...watching Robin feed her is amazing, and when she cries and her little bottom lip quivers I realize just how much trouble I am in. Even just losing track of time staring at her while she sleeps is incredible. Ok, enough gushing...here's some pics, more to come soon, these are just phone pics, camera still needs to be emptied on the ol' computer.
