Harvest day for Keaton

Because I have c sections and don't really give birth Eric kept referring to September 29th as "The harvest day".  This photo was taken about 30 minutes before heading to the operating room. 


Eric took a bunch of photos of the surgery, but this is the only one that doesn't make me want to vomit.
The surgery took longer then normal because I had a lot of scar tissue that he needed to clean out.


After they pulled him out, they checked to make sure all was well and wrapped him in a blanket and handed him to Eric while they finished the surgery. He was our biggest baby weighing in at 7 pounds 4 ounces and 20 1/2 long. He has seriously kissable cheeks!


 Then we all went back to my hospital room and the girls got to watch the nurse give him his first bath.
They were asking Eric all kinds of questions about the surgery so he pulled up a video of a c section on tube and showed it to the girls explaining the process. I can't believe they have not had nightmares about watching that.  They wanted me to watch it and I had to pass.



The girls are all totally in love and obsessed with their new brother.
