Our precious Asher Martin was born right on schedule; December 8th at 8am. The c-section went wonderfully. I was relaxed enough to join in on the conversation Ben, the doctors, and nurses were having about Christmas trees (random right?); but not so relaxed to the point of being "loopy."
Once Asher made his entrance into the room conversation stopped as it was hard to do anything but listen and laugh a little at his persistent, loud, "dying-cat-like" cry. It was beautiful.
He had trouble getting the nursing thing down, but picked it up by the end of the second day and I have to say that I do believe he really likes it now.
Asher seems to be cut from a different block of wood than Elena and Evan. There's just something about his features that set him apart. The most obvious thing is his hair; there's very little of it and it's dark brown!
Thank you Lord for your hand of protection being on Asher. He is a wonderfully good gift.
"Hello World!"
7lb 12oz and 20 in long.
Ahhh, cuddling is the best!
