Birth Pictures

Tru helping me get Levi into position. I used that ball so much through the last few months of my pregnancy. I highly recommend it if for no other reason than the pain relief factor.

Tru giving my belly some love. He kissed and hugged my belly constantly before Levi was born.

My 38 weeks 5 days pregnant picture. Just hours before heading to the hospital.

Not yet hooked up to the pitocin. I was out of that bed asap once the contractions started.

Dealing with a couple contractions in the bed.

In transition. Trying to cope but not succeeding.

I love my MIL and DH’s face in the background.

That much longed for moment. Baby on my chest.

After getting some oxygen. Looking nice and pink.

He had lots of mucus coming out of his mouth for the first 24 hours or so.

Daddy meeting his new baby.

Getting to hold Levi for the first time.

Enjoying some snuggles while mommy gets stitched up.

I was too weak to keep my eyes open, not that they could focus at that point anyways.

Getting to do skin on skin while the “repairs” were being finished.

Snuggling on mommy’s chest.

Grandma getting her turn.

Auntie getting her turn.

Meeting another Auntie.

I love that puffy little face.

Getting to hold my little man after all the “repairs” were done.

Baby kisses!

So happy to be holding my little guy. I wish those moments could last longer.
