Good Friday
Posted under Sammy by celvidge
He’s here!!! On the morning of Friday, September 26th we welcomed our beautiful baby boy into this world and named him Sam. Samuel Adam to be exact. Dad calls him Sammy and mom calls him baby boy, sweetheart, pumpkin, luv, blue-eyes, little one, sweetness, and all sorts of other angelic titles that would make any non-mom out there want to puke. 
We are head over heels in love.
Weighing in at 8 lbs 7 oz, mom is relieved that he decided to come a week early. He is perfect. Absolutely perfect. From his tiny little toes to his white blond hair. He came out perfectly plump and pink all over.
Sammy was born at home, in a pool filled with warm water. The calm little guy never even cried except for a couple tiny squawks when they took him out of mom’s arms to weigh him. When he was born, the midwives gently passed him, under the water still, to Jared and I. As I reached down to pull him out of the warm water, my heart stopped. Our beautiful little boy had his eyes open and was just peacefully looking up at me as if to say, “Hi mama. I’m here now.” Tears filled my eyes as I scooped our precious new baby out of the water and held him close. I haven’t stopped kissing him since. We are absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude and love. Words simply cannot describe.
Jared put together this slideshow of a couple great pictures of Sammy’s birthday for you to enjoy. These beautiful pictures were taken by our friend, Tamra.
