Before.
After.
Big Brother William came into
the room and immediately asked “Baby, hold?”
So with delight in his eyes he
held his brother. His delight delighted us.
How wonderful to have one of
those enormous, self-sufficient babies that lives in the nursery in the clear
plastic bucket! Here David has his
hearing checked, while the
nurse tries in vain to calm him with an improvised pacifier. She succeeded in
getting him through one ear, but he
refused to go on to the other
until after lunch.
Rebecca was bright-eyed all
afternoon.
Puffy-eyed newborn: David
about six hours after birth, supported on Mommy’s knee.
Big brother continues to take
an interest, this time successfully consoling squalling David while spelling
Daddy, who was called on to help
Mommy back into bed.
This picture, taken at just
over two days old, catches David in a particularly alert moment.
Later that afternoon we went
home. This is a remarkably fast recovery from a C-section, at least according
to our experience.
