Garrett Steven Stuart came into the world on May 4, 2011 weighing 8lbs. 4oz. He was absolutely perfect!! Big sister was very excited to finally be able to wear her "Big Sister" shirt! She couldn't wait for him to get here. I could tell she was a bit nervous, but very still looking forward to meeting her brother.
Brian took this picture at the house before we got in the car. I just love it! One last picture of my pregnant belly, and one last look at life as a mommy of one!
We arrived at the hospital at 10am, and were quickly taken to a room. I was prepared for surgery, and then the wait was on. A little before two, they took me back. Everything went smoothly with the C-Section, and Garrett arrived very quickly. It was amazing to see the doctor hold up my son, who I had only ever known by the movements inside my body. Now this tiny baby was in my sight. Seeing his little face and hearing him cry took my breath away. Brian was able to go with him to the nursery and show him off to the family and friends who were waiting. He was a very proud daddy!
After a while in recovery, they brought Garrett to me for some mommy time. Then my sweet Ryleigh got to come in and meet him. I have never seen a smile so big!!!! She just kept saying "hi little guy" and kissing him on the forehead. It was the most precious memory I have of the whole day!
I spent about 2 hours in recovery, and then headed to a room. I spent two days in the hospital and then went home on Friday. It was a wonderful experience and am so thankful for our new addition. God is so Good!
What a cutie!
